To prepare salad, combine fennel, lettuces, orange sections, artichoke hearts and parsley. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Toss well. Add cheese. Toss again. Season to taste.
Note: This recipe calls for “supreming” the oranges – a knife technique to remove the peel and cut away the membranes. Do this over a bowl and you should get the 3 tbs of fresh orange juice needed to make the dressing.
