Mixed Greens With Grapefruit Fennel And Parmesan Food

FENNEL AND GREENS SALAD

Steps:

• For the orange vinaigrette: In a salad dressing shaker, combine the orange juice, vinegar, honey, red onions and olive oil; shake to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Make sure to shake the vinaigrette once again right before dressing the salad. (Reserve any extra vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
• For the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the fennel and radishes, breaking up any pieces that are sticking together. Add the orange supremes, upland cress, pistachios and olives and gently fold the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Gently toss the salad with vinaigrette and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

WARM SHAVED FENNEL WITH PINK GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Slice the fennel into thin shavings using a mandoline.
• Cut the bottom and top off the grapefruit. Cut the peel off the sides, following the curve of the grapefruit and being careful to cut away only the peel and bitter pith. Hold the fruit in one hand over a bowl and cut the flesh of the grapefruit away from the membrane to release a wedge. Repeat until all segments are released.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and coat it with extra-virgin olive oil. Add the shaved fennel. Season with salt and saute until the fennel is warm and coated with the oil, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Toss in the grapefruit segments, grapefruit juice and olive slivers; sprinkle with the fennel fronds. Serve immediately.
