Directions

For the vinaigrette:

Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, dijon mustard, fennel seeds, anchovy if desired, salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl, whisk until well blended.

Season with more lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste.

For the salad:

Add the beans in a large bowl.

Add half the dressing over the beans and toss gently.

Season with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.

With a sharp mandolin and a safe glove, carefully slice the asparagus spears lengthwise to about ⅛ inch thick, or you can use a vegetable peeler to shave the aspragus.

Slice the radishes and fennel to the same thickness.

Place the shaved vegetables and chopped scallions in a shallow bowl or plate.

Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and drizzle 2 to 3 spoonfuls of dressing over, gently tossing to coat.

Place the beans onto a serving platter or plates.

Cover the beans with the shaved and seasoned vegetables.

Drizzle a1 to 2 tablespoons more dressing over the salad.

Top with chopped dill or parsley.

Serve.
