Thank you for this delicious salad! I test it to day, but I added some walnuts and green salad into it to get it more “foodish”. It was my very first taste of fennel and I have to say I was surprised that I liked it, when I don´t like celery. Mmmmmm for this one!
I´d also like to thank for this great site. Many tasteful and inspireing recepies. I will go on and try them all!
Keep on!
Love from Sweden!
