Fennel Parmesan Salad with Hearts of Palm*

Editor's note: As all of us 12's are trying to recover from the staggering loss - still feels like I was punched in the stomach, this truly is a Blue Monday of sadness and bitter disappointment. But, we LOVE our Seahawks, and Thank Them for a great and exciting season!! Go Hawks!

K, now to the business at hand, here is a fresh and savory salad for you to consider that I saw in the paper yesterday (with my addition*). Esp. if you like anise and licorice!
(serves 4)

2 fennel stalks, very thinly sliced on the diagonal, plus 1 small fennel bulb, cored and thinly
     sliced
2 hearts of palm "tubes"*, sliced into rings* (or you can buy a can of already sliced*)
Chunk of Parmesan cheese or use deli shaved Parm.*
2 T. EVOO
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Chopped fennel fronds

Place the sliced fennel stalks, bulb slices, and hearts of palm rings in a med. bowl. Using a sharp veg. peeler, shave the Parmesan in thin shards over the mix. Add the oil, lemon juice, and S&P to taste. Toss the salad gently, then adjust the seasoning with more S&P if necessary. Shave more Parm. on top, sprinkle with the fennel fronds, and serve immediately.

Keep your chins up.
