Shaved Fennel & Arugula Salad

Another 95+ degree day = another delicious salad success story from 101 cookbooks. :) I made this Sunday night, and it lasted for 4-5 lunch size salads, and everything stayed delicious even after dressing it all the first night. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into paper thin coins
• 2 small fennel bulbs, trimmed and shaved paper-thin
• 2/3 cup loosely chopped fresh dill
• The juice of 2 lemons
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
• fine grain sea salt
• 4 or 5 generous handfuls arugula (I jus tused the whole basket/bag from the store)
• Honey, if needed
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted (I used toasted almonds)
• 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Note: If you're using a knife to prep here, do your best to slice things very, very thinly

1. Combine the zucchini, fennel and dill in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside and marinate for 20 minutes, or up to an hour.
2. When you are ready to serve the salad, put the arugula in a large bowl. 
3. Scoop all of the zucchini and fennel onto the arugula, and pour most/all of the lemon juice dressing on top of that. Toss gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust with more of the dressing, olive oil, lemon juice, or salt if needed. If the lemons were particularly tart, you may need to counter the pucker-factor by adding a tiny drizzle of honey into the salad at this point. Let your taste buds guide you. 
4. Serve topped with pine nuts and feta.
