Date Night Celery And Fennel Salad

• 1 fennel bulb, cored and chopped, fronds removed and saved
• 6-8 of the palest stalks of celery hearts (you need about a cup), leaves removed and saved
• A good two tablespoons of fresh tarragon leaves
• Good olive oil
• 1 lemon, halved
• Black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and ground into 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
• 1 small chunk of parmigiano reggiano, flaked off in slivery chunks
• 1/8 teaspoon celery seed

1. Combine chopped fennel and celery in a bowl. Roughly chop fennel leaves, celery leaves and tarragon and add them to the bowl. Add a glug of olive oil, a good squeeze of lemon and a couple of grinds of pepper and celery seed. Stir. Taste and add more lemon if desired.
2. Spread the salad on a platter; sprinkle the fennel seeds and salt, pine nuts and cheese over the vegetables. You can serve it immediately, or it holds well at room temperature for well over an hour or so if you and your date are otherwise engaged.
