1 garlic clove, smashed to a paste with a little salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 fennel bulbs, trimmed
4 ounces firm white mushrooms, wiped clean
6 radishes
A chunk of Parmesan, for shaving
Parsley leaves, optional
Arugula leaves, optional.
1. Put the garlic in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and zest, a good pinch of salt and a little freshly ground pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.
2. Thinly slice the fennel bulbs, mushrooms and radishes. Put them in a salad bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add about 3/4 of the dressing and toss gently.
3. With a vegetable peeler, shave curls of Parmesan over the salad. Garnish with a few arugula and parsley leaves, if you like. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
