Fennel and Celery Salad With Lemon and Parmesan

Step 1

Make the dressing: Put lemon juice, zest and garlic in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil. Set dressing aside for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the salad: Place sliced fennel and celery in a salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Discard garlic from the dressing, and whisk dressing. Pour over vegetables, and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 4

To serve, transfer salad to a platter, and surround with radicchio, if using. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan generously over the salad. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Garnish with radishes, if desired.
