Fennel and Celery Salad created by Annacia

Though the textures of fennel and celery are similar, their flavors are so wildly different that the combination is striking. With little more than olive oil, loads of lemon juice, and pepper, they create just about as refreshing an uncooked dish as you can put on the table in winter. Recipe by Mark Bittman.

ingredients

2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, some fronds reserved
3 celery ribs, trimmed
¹⁄₄ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
freshly shaved parmesan cheese

directions

Cut fennel bulbs in quarters lengthwise, discarding outer layer if it is exceedingly tough. Use a mandoline to slice quarters thinly; slice celery equally thin.
Put sliced fennel and celery into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine. Top with lots of freshly shaved Parmesan and chopped fennel fronds if you like.

What a completely marvelous salad. I love fennel and this is a real keeper of a salad. It's basic, simple and perfect, so typical of the way that the Italians make the best of a few great ingredients. Made for ZWT 7.
