Arugula Salad With Fennel, Oranges And Pecorino Romano

Arugula Salad With Fennel, Oranges And Pecorino Romano


1. Prepare fennel - using only the white bulb, shave thin slices on a mandolin or with a very sharp knife. Set aside.

2. Prepare pecorino-romano cheese - finely grated cheese does NOT have enough flavor "punch", so buy your cheese in bulk and create larger pieces, such as match-stick size or larger shavings.

3. On 4 cold plates, arrange arugula. Top with orange sections, shaved fennel and pieces of pecorino-romano cheese.

4. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or balsamic "glaze" (see note below). Finish with a grinding of fresh black pepper and serve.

5. NOTE: You can find balsamic "glaze" in gourmet or Italian stores. It is a thicker, more concentrated balsamic vinegar.
