Ingredients

1 large fennel bulb
1/2 red onion
1 bunch arugula
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small piece Parmigiano-Reggiano

Trim the fennel bulb and reserve the fronds. Cut the bulb in half and remove the tough inner core. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin cut the fennel into very thin slices and put them into a large bowl. Cut the onion into very thin slices and add them to the bowl. Add the arugula to the bowl and give it a good toss. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, season it with salt and pepper, and toss it again to coat all the ingredients; put the salad onto a large platter. Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin pieces of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and scatter them over the salad. Garnish with the reserved fennel fronds.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHOPPED EGG AND PROSCIUTTO

Arugula Salad With Chopped Egg and Prosciutto image

This salad mimics a traditional salad favored in Switzerland called nüsslisalat mit ei, featuring clusters of mâche (a.k.a. lamb's lettuce or corn salad). Arugula is easier to find in North America, sold as baby arugula or as "wild" arugula, which has jagged leaves. Larger leaves of garden arugula or baby spinach, or a combination, would also work.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces arugula (about 4 large handfuls), washed and dried
4 (8-minute) boiled eggs, cooled in ice water and peeled
8 thin slices prosciutto (3 ounces), optional

Steps:

Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide arugula among 4 large plates. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate 1 egg over the center of each salad. (Alternatively, press the egg through a wide-meshed sieve or hand-chop.)
Sprinkle each salad very lightly with salt. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle about 1 1/2 tablespoons over each salad. Drape 2 slices of prosciutto artfully over each salad, if using, and serve.
