AMAZING!! I loved this salad. The fennel, tomato, and orange flavours were in perfect harmony... my taste buds are so happy :P The dressing was also to DIE for... I will be using it on many other salads as well! Thanks for a TERRIFIC recipe, Chef floWer! *Reviewed for July '08 Australia/New Zealand Recipe Swap*

This received mixed reviews. 2 liked it, 2 didn't. The fennel was too strong & crunchy for the delicate & soft tomatoes. I love fennel & tomateoes, but apparently not together. We all liked the dressing. I was supposed to have made this for the July Aussie Swap but couldn't find fennel back then, lol. Thanks Chef!
