Orange-Artichoke Salad

START TO FINISH: 25 minutes MAKES 4 servings

3 medium oranges

1 medium bulb fennel

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 12- to 14.75-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained

1⁄4 cup thinly sliced red onion

2 ounces Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon snipped fresh tarragon

1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

1⁄8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 Finely shred 1⁄2 teaspoon orange peel; set aside. Peel and section oranges over a large bowl to catch juices. Reserve 2 tablespoons orange juice for the dressing; reserve any remaining juice for another use.

2 For fennel, cut off and discard stalks, including feathery leaves. Remove wilted outer layer; cut off a thin slice from base. Wash; cut fennel lengthwise into quarters and remove the core. Thinly slice the fennel.

3 On a large serving platter place romaine. Top with orange sections, fennel, artichoke hearts, and red onion. Using a vegetable peeler, peel Parmesan cheese into shards. Top with Parmesan shards.

4 For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine the reserved 1⁄2 teaspoon orange peel, the reserved 2 tablespoons orange juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, tarragon, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Drizzle dressing over salad.
