I love this salad because its different, tasty, and I love the presentation which is actually very monochrome but interesting. They don't have ricotta salata at my store frequently, and I used parmesan curls made with a vegetable peeler instead. Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil |
1 large shallot, minced |
2 navel oranges, juice of |
1/2 navel orange, zest of |
1 small lemon, juice of |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
2 pinches salt |
fresh ground black pepper (15 to 20 grinds) |
1 fennel bulb, shaved, fronds reserved and chopped |
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into matchsticks |
1/4 lb ricotta salata, shaved |
Directions:
1. Combine dressing ingredients in a sealable container and shake to emulsify.
2. Combine shaved fennel, some of the fronds, and apple in a mixing bowl and toss.
3. Toss the salad with the dressing. Distribute between serving plates.
4. Top with shaved cheese and scatter a few more chopped fennel fronds over the top.
5. Serve immediately.
