I just came in from my garden with a couple of fennel bulbs. Some one in the CHIP class brought me some cucumbers the other evening. I decided to through these together to see how they would taste
If you like fennel you will like this.
Quick and easy.
Cucumber Fennel Salad:
2 cups cucumber-peeled and sliced
1 cup sliced fennel
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes I felt the recipe needed tomatoes with the basil.
1-2 teaspoons EVOO -optional
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar - I chose this as it is a sweeter vinegar.
Fresh ground black pepper to taste.
In bowl, combine cucumbers, fennel, basil and tomatoes.
Add oil and vinegar, and pepper.
Enjoy!!

YUMMY!! Went out to garden to dig out super tall fennel and it was all stalks and no bulbs. . .how can I make your cucumber fennel salad without my fresh fennel?? Will have to BUY at Farmer's Mkt.
Lesson learned!!
Hi Jean.
I know, out of 100 fennel plants I have about 6 bulbs. The rabbits had a feast with my fennel.
They were starting to rot with all the rain we had. But I was able to selvage the ones I had.
I love fennel in everything. (almost)
Thanks for your comment Jean.
