Best Tomato Fennel And Watercress Salad With Fennel Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipes

TOMATO FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Core the tomatoes and cut into wedges. Remove the top of the fennel (save some fronds for garnish) and slice the bulb very thinly crosswise with a knife or on a mandoline.
• Toss the tomatoes and fennel in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, season to taste, and serve.

FENNEL AND WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk the zest and the orange juice with salt to taste, whisking until the salt is dissolved, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In another bowl toss the fennel with half the dressing until it is coated well. Add the watercress to the remaining dressing, toss it until it is just coated well, and divide it between 2 plates, mounding the fennel in the middle.

WATERCRESS AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Remove most of the stems from the watercress and place in a salad bowl. Trim the stems from the fennel and slice the bulb, including the core, very thin. Add to the bowl. Trim the scallions, chop and add to the bowl.
• Mix the vinegar and mustard together. Beat in the oil to make a smooth emulsion. Pour over the ingredients in the salad bowl and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TARRAGON TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• To marinate the tomatoes, place the tomatoes, tarragon, and chives in a large bowl. Drizzle over the wine and stir to combine. Set aside.
• To prepare the dressing, whisk the vinegar and mustard together in a small bowl. Add the oils in a slow steady steam, whisking constantly, until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the salad, pour enough of the dressing over the tomatoes to lightly coat. Add the walnuts and stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To serve, divide the salad among chilled serving plates. Garnish with microgreens. Serve immediately.
• Tarragon is an essential seasoning in classic French cuisine and is wonderful with a range of foods, including eggs, chicken, and fish. Many sauces include it, like Sauce Béarnaise, served with steak, and Sauce Rémoulade, served with cold meats and seafood. When married with chopped fresh parsley, chives, and chervil, it forms the traditional seasoning blend fines herbes.
