Fennel and Cucumber Salad
I came across this recipe recently and it just looked and sounded so lovely, fresh and crisp!
In the past few years my appreciation of fennel has grown notably and I find it a really great salad addition, whether a veggie salad or a chicken salad. I think this might also be great on a bed of greens.Recipe from Jamie Geller's Joy of Kosher blog
