Healthy, because
The aniseed aroma characteristic of fennel is caused by natural essential oils which can help relieve colds as well as stomach and intestinal problems.
Even smarter
For more aniseed flavor, roast a teaspoon of fennel seeds without fat briefly in a pan and sprinkle it over the salad before serving.
