    I LOVE citrus in salads. This is such a great yummy looking salad! I recently found out I don't love fennel, so I'll likely substitute. Great idea for healthy weekday lunch/dinner.

      Yay thanks Danielle. Not everyone loves fennel, so I would double down on the sliced apples in this recipe. They offer a great texture and flavor. Thanks again!

    I love citrus and fennel together and this salad is so lovely. Although I'm ready for spring I'm feeling like I should enjoy citrus fruits as long as I can. The dressing sounds delicious too!
