This salad tastes even more impressive than it looks. It has an incredible crunch thanks to the cucumbers, radishes and apples. And the finish of fennel fronds adds just the faintest hint of licorice flavor. —William Milton III, Clemson, South Carolina


Test Kitchen tips
  • Try adding a squeeze of lemon. The little bit of acid would complement the dressing.
