Instructions
- Wash all vegetables well. Cut the core out of the bottom of the fennel bulb and the tips off of the radishes.

Notes
- You can also chop these ingredients finely with a large kitchen knife, but shaving is preferable for texture.
- If you are not planning on serving the salad immediately, hold off on the olive oil and feta until just before serving.
