Sounds like a very easy and refreshing dish, I may add some soy sauce and sesame oil to boost the flavor a bit. Serving it with some rice, or noodles, or crusty bread should be delicious!
Whatever you add to this dish will only enhance the flavor!! Sounds Great!! I love experimenting with other foods and ideas as well.. Carry on!! Thanks for checking out my dishes!!

For goodness sake, don't throw away the fennel stalks! Use to make soup with lentils or something else. Slice fine and add to salad.
