Since the ancient times, fennel has been eaten as a vegetable, a seasoning, or used for its medicinal characteristics. Its taste is similar to anise, but sweeter and milder. Fennel is rich in potassium, vitamine C and folic acid.

Weirdly good! I'll definitely make this again.
We enjoyed this salad. It was light and tasty. Next time I will put a little less vinegar (I found it a bit vinegary for my taste), and a little more mustard.
