Julia, kiddo, I can watch you fix anything! You’re the bright spot to my day! Sadly, I’m the only one in my family and friends who like fennel/tarragon!

Fennel to Italians is like candy. Anise is a homey family tradition-rich flavor for us. Love the beautiful slaw salad and it’s healthy freshness. We also cook fennel. My grandma would sauté it with onion and garlic and EVOO with just a small amount of butter for richness. Add this over your favorite pasta with pasta water to loosen the sauce. Then when served she would wilt the fennel prawn over the pasta bowl. OMG. Was a favorite of mine! Great recipe! Thank you.

I made this tonight with pork steak and corn on the cob. I could eat it this salad every day for the rest of my life!!! I ran out of mayo so half mayo and half nonfat Greek yogurt. And I'm hypoglycemic so I used golden monk fruit instead of sugar. This was so delicious that I ate more after dinner instead of dessert! Thanks Julia!

The core of the fennel is a good example of a "cook's treat" or kitchen snack. It is sweet and is similar to a celery heart

Hallelujah! My CSA offers fennel, but I’ve not found recipes that excite me; this does! Thank you.

Great use of fresh uncooked fennel and I like the various dressings you mentioned. Thanks

I liked how you linked the three recipes into a meal.

Julia is the queen of knife skills.

This is not a knife test. - Chops up everything for a salad perfectly in 25 seconds... XD I love it!

I made this salad today and it was incredibly delicious. Thank you, Julia!

I always enjoy Julia working. She's really good. I enjoy her knife skills, even though she said this is not a knife skill vid.

Just your smile makes everything better!❤

So yummy looking, and as always a most easy to prepare recipe, Julia!

That looks amazing. I have a party this weekend and I'm bring this for sure!!!

Julia really should do a knife skills series

Just ate this after it sat in the frig overnight - AMAZING!😋

She has such a friendly, approachable style that makes everything seem easy! Thank you, Julia!

Mummmmm. Lovely, if I was magic I'd magic a salad plate with that beautiful salad, big fan of apples in a mixed salad. thanks!

Beautiful! I’m going to buy the fennels and Apple tomorrow ! Thank you Julia! 🙏🏻❤️

There's something satisfying about hearing your knife hit the cutting board as it sliced/chops through food. It's almost therapeutic for me...

Wow! Looks delicious. I've got everything but the fennel!👍

Thank you for this idea ! The addition of tarragon is new to me - I can imagine it must be delicious !

Julia is simply the BEST!

Your salad combination is enticing especially your description as a palate cleanse. I will try to make this myself, I think it will be delicious no matter what I do.

Looks good. Love fennel tea.

Need to have this apple and fennel slaw salad with a cold Rolling Rock or a Heineken - and enjoy the flavors ....

I toss some Jicama in my slaws. Tried it in this. Rocked!!

Julia, I love watching you cook. I am going to try this recipe. I am glad that you said that it could be scaled down as I will be making this for two. Thanks for the recipe!!

I love this idea. Am going to try it today.

I love fennel and am looking to eat some light meals before we go on vacation. This fits the bill!

I'll have to try this recipe Julia looks so light and refreshing !!!

That salata is excellent, Julia. We all liked it a lot. I was surprised. I’ll be making that for everyone. As you said for get togethers Perfect just unusual enough. I had never heard of it!

I made this last week. It was a hit! Thanks! I'm trying it again tonight, but I'm replacing the apple with some jicama that I have. It worked in my dinner prep taste-test. We'll see what the family thinks in a few.

I look forward to trying it. I bought the fennel and green apples. I hope it turns out as good as your's looks.

Oh I want to try this!!!

Made this tonight and it IS wonderful! Keep sharing, Julia!

Looks good. I am going to try this!

I will make that. Thank you .

This looks tasty!

Oh I want to try that! Looks delicious!

that looks REALLY good! i love gala apples - that's about all i buy!

Making tonight! Thanks! I like the full length videos AND these shorties!

That looks so good!

Looks so great! I assume, since you emphasize that you bring it to picnics, that the acidic dressing keeps the apple and fennel from oxidizing?

wow...looks great!

I love the flavor of fresh tarragon. Gotta make this.

Sembra un gran bel lavoro 👍👏

You could use the matchstick blade on your mandolin for the apples: if you have a slanted blade.

LOVE. THIS. 💜💚💙

I enjoyed bitter coleslaw.

To some people, they don't like the fennel's licorice-like taste, but to me, it makes things interesting.

Yum

Making this tomorrow.

I'm making this Salad

I'm making a fennel salad today for supper.

I’m going to use this to top a chicken cutlet!

I need that big bowl though.

Nice!👍

Great dish thank you! Please use a glass bowl next time so we can see

That's Fantastic Julia! U R the best!! Laszlo Montreal Photog.

Delicious! I ended up with a fennel bulb and didn’t know what to do with it. I’d never had it before. Fennel smells and tastes amazing. Question. What do I do with the leftover fennel leaves?

First time see the root of fennel

Yumm!! 🥰

Exciting! I mostly eat fennel bulb stir-fried with potato and onion, so I've been trying to find ways I like it fresh. I recently tried a recipe for fresh fennel and orange salad, and I was just kind of underwhelmed. I'm allergic to apples; can you think of something that might be a suitable replacement? Maybe jicama for crunchiness? I've only had that once and don't remember what I tasted like. Maybe Asian pear would be better!

Hi ATK Salutations from California 😋

What is the knife used? Loved the kiritsuke design handle looks beautiful

*wipe wipe* right on the floor…lol oh Julia.

YouARE very cute, Julia. Love that smile.

😋

fridge pickles using herbs besides dill.

If olive oil and lemon juice dressing, how much for each. Not a mayo fan.

Now this got my attention - as I truly love REAL slaw - with the right ingredients (instead of soy oil, fake mayonnaise ...) and emulsified cabbage slime ... etc.

What did you plate it with, your Bistro Slaw, Julia?

So basically cole slaw?

Would a pear pair better with the fennel?

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

A lovely simple summer salad, but ‘bistro’ slaw? That’s as silly as ‘cafe ham’ or ‘restaurant toast’ 😂

Girl, as you get a little older you’re getting cuter.

First they’re free, then they’re not. Pfffooey!!! Take a HIKE.

Fennel is disgusting. If I want licorice I'll buy some candy. Soo gross!!

You're pretty enough that you don't need so much makeup.
