Warm Fennel-and-Bitter Greens Salad
Recipe from Food & Wine

Danielle Custer of Taste in Seattle wilts basil and watercress in a hot skillet for a minute or two before tossing them with spinach and arugula. Grace Parisi makes a crunchier version of Custer's warm salad with bitter greens, radishes, fennel, and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
