Begin by removing the stalks and fronds from the fennel bulb, setting them aside for later use if you like. Then, slice the fennel bulb lengthwise through the root, creating two halves. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to make thin, paper-like horizontal slices.

Next, take your cucumber and slice it lengthwise. If desired, scoop out the seeds using a spoon for a less watery texture. Then cut the cucumber into half-moon shapes.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, finely diced dill, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the freshly sliced fennel and cucumber. Toss them lightly to mix.

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the fennel and cucumber mixture. Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon to toss the salad gently.

Taste your Crisp Fennel Cucumber Salad and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

Allow the salad to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

After resting, serve your Crisp Fennel Cucumber Salad in a beautiful bowl.
