Instructions

  1. Coarsely grate 4 large carrots on the largest eye of a box grater into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Thinly slice half a head of fennel, either by hand or with a mandolin, and add to the bowl. The pieces should be thin enough that they are flimsy but not translucent.
  3. Shave a half a head of radicchio very thinly, as if you were making a very fine slaw. Add to the bowl.
  4. Chop fresh parsley and add to the bowl.
  5. For the dressing, combine 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice with 2/3 cup olive oil in a jar.
  6. Add a finely grated clove of garlic (or two) and a large pinch of chili flake and salt.
  7. Shake the dressing well and taste for seasoning. Add more lemon juice or garlic if needed.
  8. Dress your salad and toss well to combine and properly season all the bits.

My notes

The salad is particularly nice with pistachio.
