This was good the first night and would have gotten a 4, but it was delicious the next day, once the flavors had blended and the fennel had softened a bit. This makes a lot and, for us, the dressing wasn't enough as written. I made another half batch and thought it could have used even more, but the next day it was just right. The flavor of the fennel was mild and not at all overpowering. I ran it through a food processor with the slicer attachment to get it nice and thin. Overall, a good salad--I like it with a sprinkle of sea salt.
