Avocado, Fennel, Cucumber and Orange Salad

I made this salad for dinner tonight.  For this I used the fennel bulb, not the feathery leaves. Its anise flavour went really well with that of the tangy orange and the mellow avocado.Fennel was an acquired taste at first, but I am increasingly drawn to it. It is crisp and fresh tasting and will keep well in the vegetable bin in the fridge for a couple of  days.

I served this salad with floured and fried fillets of fish,
