Ingredients
- 1 head Radicchio
- 1 large Fennel bulb
- 2 cups Arugula
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Rinse the radicchio and fennel thoroughly under cold water. Dry them well with paper towels or a salad spinner.
Cut the radicchio into quarters, remove the core, and then slice it into thin ribbons.
Slice the fennel bulb in half, remove the core, and use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible.
In a large salad bowl, combine the radicchio, sliced fennel, and arugula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad greens and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Shave the Parmesan cheese into thin curls using a vegetable peeler and sprinkle it over the salad.
Top the salad with toasted walnuts for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
