The combination of fennel and strawberries may seem surprising, but they partner well with the addition of crunchy salty sunflower seeds and slightly bitter baby kale, giving you a great mix of flavors in every bite. Look for fennel bulbs with lots of fresh green fronds. The pale green inner fronds are the most tender.
