tomato & fennel salad

difficulty: easy peasy lemon squeezy
yum factor: 5/5 stars
price: less than $10

ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs heirloom tomatoes
1 small bulb fennel
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

other stuff you'll need:
knife
cutting board/sturdy dish
serving dish/bowl

directions:

core the tomatoes (cut out the middle) and cut these into wedges. remove the top of the fennel (save some of the fronds....aka the curly stuff) and slice the bulb very thinly.

toss the tomatoes and fennel in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper.

chop up the fronds that you saved and garnish with this.

voila. this salad tastes even better the second day.
