Escarole, Fennel, and Oak-Leaf SaladRoland Bello

Soft and crisp, bitter and sweet—this simple salad is a clean, bright counterpoint to the rest of the meal.

Cooks' notes:

•Fennel can be shaved and greens can be washed and dried 1 day ahead and chilled separately, wrapped well in dampened paper towels, in sealed plastic bags.
•Dressing can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
