Artichoke, Fennel, and Edamame Salad Recipe

  • 8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 3 pounds baby artichokes
  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 3 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed (fronds reserved), quartered, thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 4 1/2 cups cooked shelled edamame
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Fill medium bowl with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, pull off tough outer leaves (about 3 rows). Cut tip and stem off artichoke. Cut artichoke in half. Scoop out any choke. Place in lemon water.
  2. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Drain artichokes; pat dry. Return to bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil and toss. Transfer to prepared sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender when pierced, stirring once, about 20 minutes. Cool on sheet.
  3. Whisk 6 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, shallots, fennel seeds, and lemon peel in large bowl. Stir in sliced fennel, parsley, artichokes, and edamame. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.) Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve.
  4. Edamame (soybeans) are available at many supermarkets.
