I liked the flavor of everything. Can't go wrong with avocado. I did find it kind of disheartening that I had to pay $4 for arugula, and the only kind they had was organic ( not that there is anything wrong with that, $3 for fennel. I did like that it was quick and easy to make.

Don't know how or why so many people are sooo uptight about this recipe. I mean how can you go wrong with fennel, arugula, and avocado? Are you all jealous of her somehow? So what if she's a little bit perky...who cares? And why take it out on this simple little salad that tastes great! Scheez!! Everybody needs to take a chill pill!!

I used celery instead of fennel and 1/2 baby spinach, 1/2 arugula. It was still good. My girlfriends were impressed that lemon juice and olive oil made such a good dressing. I'd make this again if I had the ingredients onhand, but wouldn't make a special trip to the store for it.
