Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the chopped onion and whisk well. Set aside.

To make salad: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Put the fennel in a small bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season both with salt and pepper and spread on separate baking sheets. Roast the broccoli until lightly browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Roast the fennel until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven.

Combine the vegetables and herbs in a serving bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Serve warm or at room temperature.
