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!

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.
