Fantastic recipe -- packed with some of my favourite flavours! I had one large fennel bulb that I cut into 1cm slices and cooked in boiling water for about 6 minutes. I decided to make the whole salsa recipe, knowing I could use the leftovers creatively. I planned to use only a 1/2 cup of oil, but needed the extra 1/4 cup to let the food processor do its job. I must confess that I preferred the extra tartness there was before I added the last of the oil, but the oil did mellow everything out for those who don't love tart as much as I do. To serve, I tossed the fennel with about 1/2 the salsa. Don't tell the family, but I'm selfishly saving the rest of the salsa for some clandestine usage -- maybe on baked potatoes. I will make this recipe often -- and the salsa will probably get made just to have on hand. Thanks for posting. UPDATE: I just ate the small amount of fennel that was left over from last night. Absolutely delicious -- maybe even tastier than yesterday if that's possible. So clearly this dish can be made a day or so ahead. And it's great warm or at room temperature.
