Wash the arugola if necessary and pat dry with a towel. Arrange the arugola on the bottom of a shallow salad bowl.

Cut off the stems and leafy tops of the fennel, then thinly slice the fennel bulb and arrange on top of the arugula.

Cut the lemon in half, squeeze some lemon juice over the fennel and arugula, drizzle with olive oil. Add some fresh ground pepper to taste.

Shave the parmigiano with a potato peeler lighty covering the salad with the shaved cheese. Serve immediately.
