Fabulous Fennel Salad

While visiting with Stuart Munro, my friend and former band mate in Victoria, BC, he made us this fabulous fennel salad. Stu and The GreenMan drank dark home brewed ale, while the women drank sweet local white wine of the Gewurztraminer variety. We were on our way back from Alaska and had a blast eating, drinking and jamming with Stu and friends in Penelope's back yard. Even friends who would never consider eating raw beets have been raving about this salad. Thanks Stu!
