List of Ingredients Salad:

1/4 medium red onion, minced

1/2 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and cored

15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

4 jarred roasted sweet red peppers, chopped (about 3/4 cup)

6 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and quartered, if whole

2 cups arugula

1 cup fresh, flat-leaf parsley leaves

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted

1/2 to 1 cup freshly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano

1 small garlic clove, peeled

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. freshly grated orange zest

2 T whilte wine vinegar

freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Description For Salad:  To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water for 10 miutes, then drain well, pat dry, and put in a serving bowl.



For Dressing:  Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste.  Put the paste in a bowl and add the orange zest, vinegar, remaining 1 tsp salt, and black pepper to taste.  Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a msooth, slightly thick dressing.



Using a handheld mandoline or a knife, cut the fennel lengthwise into long, thin slices.  Add to the onion and toss with the chickpeas, peppers, artichoke hearts, arugula, parsley and dressing.  Scatter the olives and shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top.

Notes Baby arugula has smaller, more tender leaves and a slightly less peppery and assertive flavor than larger arugula.





To make Parmigian-Reggiano shavings, hold the cheese firmly in one hand and run a vegetable peeler firly across the longest edge of the cheese to peel off long, thin strips.
