Tangy Fennel And Arugula Salad Food

FENNEL-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Quarter, core and thinly slice 1 large fennel bulb; chop 1/3 cup of the fronds. Combine in a large bowl with 6 thinly sliced celery stalks and 2 cups baby arugula. Toss with 3 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH FENNEL AND NAVEL ORANGE

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and toast the walnuts, stirring frequently, until they smell fragrant. Transfer the walnuts to a plate and set aside.
• In a small bowl, squeeze ½ Tbsp of navel orange juice and set aside. Peel the navel oranges and cut the orange in half crosswise and slice into ½" thick half-moon slices.
• To make the dressing, whisk together ½ Tbsp navel orange juice (from the previous step), 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and 1 Tbsp champagne vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Cut off the stems and feathery fronds of the fennel bulb and remove any bruised or discolored outer layers. Save some fronds for garnish. Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and cut out any tough core parts. Cut the fennel bulb crosswise into thin slices.
• Add the arugula and fennel in a large bowl and add the dressing. Toss gently to coat thoroughly. Arrange the salad on a plate and arrange the orange slices. Sprinkle walnuts and fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

SWEET AND TANGY ORZO SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• For the salad: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Add the onions to the dressing and stir to coat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain it well and, while it is still warm, add to the bowl of dressed onions. Stir in the fennel and dried cranberries and allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the arugula and mozzarella and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cook's Note: If serving the next day, a drizzle of olive oil will help to bring this salad back to life.
