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.

It's easy to modify this recipe based on your taste and what you have on hand: Add more or less fennel, apple and cucumber.
