Wowza. Excuse me, but my eyes are rolling in the back of my head. Yummers! I took a large head of fennel. Quartered, cored and half moon sliced. Had left over green onions, took the white parts sliced um up. Had a huge organic cuke, peeled, cored, sliced in more half moon shapes. Added 1/4 TB seasame oil with the olive oil and lightly sprinkled toasted seasame seeds over all. Fennel frond instead of dill. Splash of rice vinegar with the white. More sugar, garlic pepper/salt... MIND BLOWN

Agreed, it is excellent with the addition of a little sesame oil!! Great fresh recipe.

Lola

Added kale, chicken, and a tbsp of kumquat jam instead of sugar… replaced one tbs of oil with sesame oil, replaced one tbsp of vinegar with rice vinegar… Boom. Delicious. Dinner served and dreaming of having it for lunch again the next day.

Siegrid

Added some pieces of flat peaches (donut or saturn peaches) on top to add some sweetness/freshness to it. YUM!

Richard

Simplicity at it's best! Used sherry vinegar instead.
