Ingredients

Units Scale

Salad:

  • 3 cups baby arugula
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly shaved fennel bulb
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
  • 1 red pear, cored and sliced
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • Fennel fronds for garnishing

Dressing:

  • 2/3 cup shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Assemble the salad by tossing the arugula, fennel, and celery together in a large bowl. Tip the mixed salad onto a serving platter or individual serving plates.
  2. Arrange the pear slices over the greens. Distribute the walnuts and raisins over everything. Throw on a few fennel fronds to make it pretty.
  3. Make the dressing by adding the cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Pulse until emulsified and combined. The dressing is not perfectly smooth but has some texture to it. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.
