Notes
- Shaved fennel salad: if you prefer, feel free to use shaved fennel instead of sliced.
- Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Making ahead: if you are making this ahead of time I would recommend adding the basil leaves right before serving, so they are fresh.
- Add ins: if you want a bit more of a bite, you can add in a little fresh red onion!
