--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  - 1 pound     fennel bulb
     1/4  cup           fresh lemon juice -- or to taste
   1 1/2  tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
                        Freshly ground black pepper
   6      - 8 ounces    mild feta, drained if necessary
                        at cool room temperature


Trim away outer layer of fennel, reserving tender stalks and any 
feathery tops. Quarter bulb lengthwise and cut each quarter 
lengthwise into very thin slices. Cut reserved stalks crosswise into 
very thin slices. To make fennel very crisp and slightly curled, soak 

in ice and cold water to cover water 1 hour, chilled Chop reserved 
fennel tops. In a bowl toss together fennel slices, fennel tops, 
lemon 
juice, oil, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Arrange
salad on a platter and chill, covered up to 3 hours.

If feta is very salty, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Cut feta 
into 
1 x 1/4-inch slices and arrange on top of salad.
Yield: 4-6 serving
