I have never tried fennel because I thought I would not like it. (I thought it would taste like black licorice, which is awful, in my opinion. Fennel has just a slight taste of licorice. The salad was very tasty, crunchy, and so simple. (I used regular tomatoes.

Perfect way to showcase summer tomatoes. My friend gave me a bunch of tomatoes from her garden and I made this recipe. It was so good! My husband isn't a huge fan of fennel, but he loved this recipe. Ina mentioned also using fresh squeezed OJ instead of the lemon. I tried that too, and it was so good.

One of my absolute favorites! I have made this salad several times, always on the morning or mid-afternoon of serving it for lunch or dinner. I used four different types of tomatoes from my garden and cooled it down a little with ice on top (in a baggie, but would never refrigerate it. I only use 1/2 fennel bulb and add just a little thinly sliced onion for a kick. I had some bread which I cut into sticks, tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper, and lightly toasted in the oven. Then I served those with the salad to sop up all the juices. My girlfriend said, and I quote, "I could swim in this!" The ultimate complement. Only use fresh in-season tomatoes and do not refrigerate it, only chill it. You will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed this salad. It was simple, but not extremely flavorful. I think I would make it again in late Spring or Summer. I think it would be much more refreshing and flavorful when the produce is in season.

So Goooooood! I'm on a Fennel binge. Quick, fresh, easy and satisfying. Since it was a meal for one, I just adapted the recipe for a serving for two and ate the whole bowl of it. Tastes like a salad dish on a menu at a upscale restaurant - without the high price.

This recipe made me realize how much I hate fennel. That anise/licorice flavor is unbearable. Next!

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.
