Ina says this can be served immediately, some comments suggested letting it marinate for a while. Mine marinated for about 3 hours and I will say, I preferred it fresh and while the lemon was vibrant. The fronds would have added some pretty green color but they were limp and wilted on the bulb I bought so I didn't use them.
Tomato Fennel Salad-from Food Network
1 1/2 lbs heirloom tomatoes
1 small fennel bulb
2 Tblsp good olive oil
2 Tblsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tblsp cider vinegar
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Core the tomatoes and cut into chunks (or in half if cherry tomatoes).
- Remove the top from the fennel and slice the bulb very thin.
- Mix everything, garnish with 2 Tblsp of the fronds if desired.
