Author Notes
Raw fennel and radish are thinly sliced, sprinkled with salt and pepper, then drizzled with fruity olive oil and lemon juice. Simple perfection. The fennel's sweet, herbal anise note pairs perfectly with the peppery accent radish provides. The salad is refreshing, crunchy and pairs magnificently with fish, but also helps to cut through heavier meats and pastas too. —Merav
