Peppery Greens With Meyer Lemon Dressing Recipes

MEYER LEMON VINAIGRETTE

When Meyer lemons are in season, typically between November and March, be sure to snag some up to make this lemon-Parmesan dressing. Meyer lemons are much less tart and acidic than traditional lemons, like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. They're also sweeter, so no additional sugar is needed. I love this on kale salad, but also drizzled over roasted veggies or grilled salmon or trout.

CREAMY MEYER LEMON DRESSING

This delicate, lemony dressing is wonderful with most lettuces, both delicate and robust. I especially like it with endive. If you can find it, lemon-scented olive oil, sold in some gourmet shops, will add a delicious flavor.

FRESH FENNEL AND ARUGULA WITH MEYER LEMON DRESSING

I love crunchy fennel and peppery arugula dressed with a slightly sweet dressing made from Meyer lemons-a fresh-tasting pick-me-up. Meyer lemons are only available in the wintertime, so if you can't find them, use regular lemon juice and replace a third of it with fresh orange juice.

Fresh Fennel and Arugula With Meyer Lemon Dressing image

Steps:

To prepare the dressing: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a small glass jar with a lid and season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare the salad: Remove the green, feathery stalks from the fennel bulb, thinly slice the white part of the fennel bulb on a Japanese mandolin or with a knife. The thinner you cut the fennel the better. Place the sliced fennel in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing. Let sit for 30 minutes (this will soften the fennel slices a bit). Add the orange segments to the bowl and toss gently.
Place the arugula in a medium mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing.
Divide the arugula among 4 plates and top with some of the fennel mixture. Season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper.

Ingredients

For the dressing:
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
2 medium fennel bulbs
2 oranges, peeled and separated into segments
4 cups baby arugula leaves
