FENNEL, AVOCADO, AND SATSUMA SALAD



Fennel, Avocado, and Satsuma Salad image

A perfect side to an easy weeknight main or a dinner party entree, this easy fennel-and-avocado salad doesn't need a vinaigrette. The bright and juicy segments of satsuma mandarin provide pops of acidity so all that's need to finish the dish is a drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil.

SHAVED FENNEL SALAD WITH AVOCADO & LEMON



Shaved Fennel Salad with Avocado & Lemon image

Adapted from Stacy Adimando's Piatti A few notes: A mandoline is not essential, but I find it very helpful for slicing the fennel thinly. I recently bought a new Benriner mandoline, and wow: what a difference. Highly recommend: $34.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon dried currants
splash white balsamic vinegar
2 fennel bulbs, sliced thinly on a mandoline or with a knife
1/4 cup (or more) loosely packed fennel fronds
1/4 lb. asparagus, peeled with a peeler, see notes above or snap peas (100 g) snap peas, stemmed and sliced on the diagonal
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 - 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to taste
salt, I've been using Maldon sea salt
freshly cracked pepper to taste
1 avocado, thinly sliced
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese or Pecorino Romano, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Place the currants in a small bowl. Splash in some vinegar (maybe a teaspoon) and then cover with hot tap water - about a tablespoon. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the fennel, fronds, asparagus or snap peas, onion, and parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss. Add the olive oil and fresh lemon juice and toss again. Taste. If it's too tart, add more olive oil by the tablespoon till it tastes right. If it needs more dressing, add more olive oil and lemon to taste. If it's not tart enough, add more lemon (or a splash of vinegar).
  • Drain the currants and add to the bowl. Add the avocado, and toss again. Shave in Parmigiano-Reggiano to taste. Toss. Taste. Adjust seasonings as necessary, and serve.

MELON AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FENNEL AND CHILE



Melon and Avocado Salad With Fennel and Chile image

This sweet-savory, crunchy-creamy dish nods to California summers, when a drive to the market can often end with avocados and melons buckled in the back seat. The recipe is simple, and instantly impressive: It involves little more than scooping out the fresh fruit and topping it with a spicy-sweet pinch of sugar and a drizzle of dressing. Rubbing toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and lemon zest into sugar and salt helps their floral kick travel far. The salad's balance depends on your melon and avocado, so rely on taste more than measurements here. Adjust the ingredients as needed, until the salad is rich, punchy and bright, bite after bite.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 lemon, for zesting and juicing
1/2 medium cantaloupe or honeydew melon (about 2 1/2 pounds), seeds removed
2 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium-low, toast the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board, then smash with a heavy pan until the fennel seeds break apart. (You can also do this using a mortar and pestle.)
  • Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, then add the salt, sugar and 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest. Rub the mixture with your fingers until you smell the lemon.
  • Using a soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of the melon and place them directly on a serving platter. Halve the avocados and remove the pit. Using the soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of avocado and place on top of the melon.
  • Drizzle the fruit with 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then sprinkle with some of the fennel-chile mixture. (Start with half of it, then add more to taste.) Drizzle with the olive oil, then taste and adjust acid (with lemon juice), richness (with oil), and salt and sweetness (with fennel mixture) until it tastes fresh and bright. Serve right away.
