This was okay for us,I thought the lemon overpowered the flavor of the fennel and would only use a small amount next time also thought it needed either vinegar or lemon juice. thanks for sharing -
Absolutely delicious- my favourite fennel salad recipe. I have also used red skinned eating apples which add a touch of colour. Thinly slicing is important as fennel can sometimes be a bit tough otherwise
