Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh fennel bulbs. Look for bulbs that are firm and have no blemishes.
- When slicing the fennel, cut it thinly so that it will soften and release its flavor more easily.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the fennel thinly.
- Be sure to use a good quality olive oil for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
- Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- This dressing is also great on other vegetables, such as roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or steamed broccoli.
