RADISH AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• The quantities of this salad are really up to you, but I look for roughly 2 parts fennel to 1 part radish. When buying radishes look for those that are really firm. The longer, oval-shaped ones are really nice. Wash them and slice thinly. Fennel comes in two types: the thinner Fennel and a rounder, fatter variety. It is the rounder, fatter fennel buds that you want -- these are normally much more well packed, less stringy and generally have a lot more of the green tops, which you need.
• Cut the tops and the excess stalk off the top of the fennel and set aside. Trim the bottom of the bulb in half and slice as thinly as possible from the root to the top. Put the radishes and the fennel into a bowl and cover with cold water, adding some ice. Leave for at least 15 minutes to get the radishes and fennel really, really crispy. Drain, spin them or pat them dry, put into a bowl and dress them with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Chop the fennel tops and sprinkle them on top. This is great with grilled fish.

FENNEL-RADICCHIO SALAD

• Toss fennel and radicchio with dressing in medium bowl. Divide salad between 2 plates. Garnish with sliced olives and serve.

FENNEL AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Cut off the fennel leaves and reserve for the garnish. Wash the fennel, remove the hard core and thinly slice the bulb. Put into a bowl. Wash and trim the radicchio, shred, but not too finely, and add to the bowl.
• Roughly chop the walnuts, dice the Gorgonzola and add both to the salad. Roughly chop the parsley. Make a dressing from the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey and parsley.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and mix well. Serve immediately garnished with fennel leaves.

FENNEL AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH ANCHOVY AND EGG

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice fennel crosswise 1/8-inch thick. Place slices in a wide salad bowl, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and garlic. Toss everything together, coating the fennel well. Taste for salt and adjust. (This can be done up to 30 minutes ahead.)
• Remove and discard any wilted outer leaves of radicchio. Separate tender leaves, tearing large ones into smaller pieces.
• To finish the salad, quarter the eggs. Add radicchio to the salad bowl and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Toss together radicchio and fennel, coating everything well. Garnish with quartered eggs. (Yolks should have a moist center.) Top eggs with the anchovy fillets.
