wonderful salad
Even the kids liked this one. I added 2 tbs. rice vinegar to the vinaigrette, as well as 1 tsp. ground dried serrano pepper. Used medium red and yellow tomotoes and a 'spring mix' package of young salad greens in addition to the fennel.
The flavor of the salad was excellent, and the fennel really shines with this dressing.
