Delicious! I heartily recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice for this dish; it is sooo tasty. I also used the soft little frands (is that the word?) that grow at the top of the plant. They look like dill (they don't taste like it) and are wonderful. This salad also sits well overnight, so is a good make-ahead.

This was light and refreshing. I found it a tiny bit too oily for my taste -- I will reduce the olive oil next time and probably double the lemon for my own tastes. This is my new favorite fennel recipe -- it's a keeper. Thank you!

My husband and I really enjoyed this simple yet delicious combination. I refrigerated this during the two hour marination time and the result was a cool, crunchy salad. I served this with a very spicy curry and the two went perfectly together. Thanks for posting !

Delicious made as is, I adore fennel & thank you for sharing this lovely, simple recipe. I ate some of it during the marinating time & loved the crisp texture. While I was in the other room DH threw the rest on the bbq because he misunderstood me. Just a minute or two resulted in lovely caramelised fennel & a warm salad, well, I liked it anyway :-)
