Ingredients:

  • 1 large puntarelle
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Puntarelle

Start by washing the puntarelle thoroughly under cold water. Remove any dirt or debris from the leaves and trim off the tough ends. Once cleaned, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the puntarelle into long, thin strips.

Step 2: Blanching the Puntarelle

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced puntarelle and cook for about 2 minutes, until they become slightly tender. Drain the puntarelle and shock them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3: Making the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your preference.

Step 4: Assembling the Salad

In a large bowl, add the blanched and dried puntarelle. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently until all the leaves are well coated. Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Serving the Puntarelle Salad

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. You can garnish it with additional lemon wedges or Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve the puntarelle salad fresh and enjoy!

With its unique taste and crisp texture, puntarelle salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a side salad or even as a main course by adding protein such as grilled chicken or shrimp. Experiment with different additions to make it your own!
