1 1/2 pounds heirloom tomatoes

1 small fennel bulb

2 tablespoons good olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Core the tomatoes and cut into wedges. Remove the top of the fennel (save some fronds for garnish) and slice the bulb very thinly crosswise with a knife or on a mandoline.

Toss the tomatoes and fennel in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, season to taste, and serve.

Easy and impressive
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was super easy, very flavorful, and it makes an impressive flavorful side dish as most people don't think to use fennel... often. I added Italian parsley to up the green factor.Read more

I switched it a bit but...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Yum!! I used the idea of tomato wedges and paper-thin fennel slices, except for dressing I used orange juice in place of... lemon juice and red wine vinegar in place of cider vinegar (just what I had on hand...) then I added some torn lettuce, chopped kalamata olives, and some crumbled feta. The sweet/tangy dressing goes great with the other flavors! Read more

Very Refreshing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even though I had never eaten fennel, the salad looked so good that I had to try it. Now I'm hooked on fennel! The flavors... of the dressing and fennel are the best. Another winner from Ina!Read more
