Tomato, Fennel, and Cucumber Salad
Fennel is an aromatic vegetable with a distinct anise, or licorice, flavor. It's often used in Italian cooking (that's how I discovered it - through my Italian family in New York). It's also the ingredient that makes this color vegetable salad taste so wonderfully delicious.
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup diced cucumbers, peeled
- 1 cup chopped fennel bulb
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon toasted fennel seeds
