Cooking Steps

1. 1

   Prep the fennel by trimming the bulb and slicing into thin ribbons (about 10 minutes), then set aside to drain any excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 lemon’s juice, 1 lemon’s zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper (3 minutes).

3. 3

   Toss the arugula with the dressing, then add the fennel ribbons and 1/4 cup castelvetrano olives (drained) to the salad (5 minutes).

4. 4

   Gently fold in the citrus zest and juice, ensuring the flavors meld (2 minutes).

5. 5

   Plate the salad, garnishing with shaved parmesan and a final sprinkle of salt. As the waxing crescent moon grows, let the salad’s crispness mirror the universe’s unfolding potential.
