This salad was fresh and summery. This is the first time I have prepared fennel. I always had the idea that fennel would have a strong licorice taste but I was pleasantly surprised how mild and delicous it tastes when grilled. The oranges added that freshness and the almonds and mint finished it well. My boyfriend has never had fennel and he really liked the salad. I would make this again.

Fennel, on its own, is an unusual vegetable to use. Combining it with the orange segments, almond and mint helps to jazz it up. Use this as a small side dish but don't expect it to be your main side dish. Chop any leftovers and use in a salad the next day.

My husband and I loved this salad. We had a Spanish-themed dinner and it was a perfect salad for the occasion. Yes, liking fennel is a must. We also found that keeping the fennel together on the grill wasn't so easy when sliced horizontally. Second time around we quartered the bulbs, grilled them, and then cored them. For the best taste, I thought it was real important not to take shortcuts -- we made sure to use fresh oranges, our best olive oil, and freshly toasted almonds. Looked great on a small platter.

My husband loved this. However it was my first time trying fennel and it is not one of my favorites I think everyone should try something once.

I can't believe this only got 3 stars. I had it last night and I thought it was wonderful. We had steaks first with a vegetable and this after the entree. It was very refreshing and a great combo of flavors.

This was my first time using fennel. I was told that anise and fennel were the same by the local grocer, so that could have been the problem. The fennel was a little tough and has a very distinct taste. No one in my family was too pleased with the outcome of this recipe, although the other ingredients blended well together. If you haven't had fennel, you might want to avoid this recipe for your first time.
