Hi, FYI -- red (bell) pepper -- is in the photo and directions, yet not included in the ingredient list. A fabulous salad.

Awesome use of one of my Great-Grandfather Frank Scavo's favorites ... fennel. This is a delicious alternative to an everyday salad, but is just as simple and easy. Loved it! I used Greek Olives and added a bit of teta cheese.
