shaving fennel, not beards

shaved fennel and pear salad

shave one large (or two smaller) fennel thinly
halve and core one pear (my favorite is Anjou) and sliver into very thin slices, about as thick as the fennel
one handful of parsley, chopped
about half a cup freshly grated ricotta salata (on the largest side of the box grater)
juice of one half of a lemon
glug of good olive oil
sea salt and freshly grated pepper

mix everything together. eat.
