Submitted by duonyte

"From lidiasitaly.com . I watched Lidia make this on her TV show, and looked up the recipe. I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but this salad is really refreshing, I've made it a couple of times with just the veggies, and also with just the salami. All versions are tasty,"

Loved this! We made a whole meal of this, with a little round of brie/goat cheese and some crackers. While it was fantastic as written, next time I might try adding some thinly sliced apples, too. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favourite meal time salads. I have used this like an antipasto before dinner for company. Usually I make fennel and radish with lemon, but this is a full meal, with a piece of garlic bread. Great recipe....Its nice to have in print .
