Served this tonight with Chicken Kiev and it was delish. I was not familiar with fennel, but I had some so apparently I've used it before for something. It definitely gives the receipe an extra zip. Do not leave it out as I was tempted to do. I had to use Red Delicious apples, which gave it nice color, but I am a fan of Granny Smith and will try those next time. I tossed the chopped apples in the lemon juice to keep them from turning dark before adding the other ingredients. I am now looking for other receipes using fennel since I liked it so much.

Perfect! I halved the recipe and used Splenda, dijon mustard (not the grainy kind) and 1 T light mayo. Salt *really* brought out the flavors in this dish. I had some of it on a FlatOut wrap with tuna and it was great (although I will dice smaller if I do that again) and I had some plain and that was great too. I will definitely make this again. I had everything I needed in the house, and it was inexpensive and versatile.

This really hit the spot tonight. I used plain fat free yogurt in place of the mayo and mustard and 1 tsp of Splenda for the sugar. I discovered that my tarragon was among the things now buried in the garage. I thought after dinner that some mint would be nice in this. I have half left and will add some to that. I agree that raisins would be a good addition but then the sugars would climb. I didn't feel that any salt was needed. This was perfect for a summer sandwich meal. It was creamy, crunchy and refreshing.
