When I was in college I worked for a time at a cafe in the Financial District. I mostly liked it there. I put in a mostly full week of work, the schedule complemented my school hours, and I had weekends off. I took home a shit-ton of food on Fridays and ate free every single day. There wasn't a whole lot to complain about except for the go-nowhere-ed-ness nature of the job, of course.
Anywhoozle, this deli had a few salads it served on a regular rotation that I really enjoyed. Two of them even make me think for a moment that strawberries aren't so bad after all.
One of the salads, not one of the strawberry ones, is the one I made this afternoon. I was craving it, so I made it. It's macerating right now. I took a few bites of it right after I made it and it was good, but it will be so much better in about an hour or so

Fennel, Parmesan and Walnut Salad
I never actually saw the actual recipe for this salad, so this is what I came up with on my own and it's delicious.
Take a head of fennel and cut out the core and remove the outside pieces. Take your super scary hand held slicer with the ceramic blade and slice until you are afraid you're going to slice off your knuckles and fingertips.
Add chopped up walnuts, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, Timut pepper. You can also add some parsley if you want a little bit of color. The Timut pepper is my own contribution to the gleaned recipe. I like the grapefruity essence of this type of pepper.
It's yummy.
