    Can substitute dried cranberries or sour cherries for pomegranates.

    I don't like the taste of raw fennel - its a bit too aniseed-y. But this recipe changed my outlook on raw fennel. Have to make sure the fennel is sliced really thinly, and somehow the combo of feta, sumac & pomegranate mixes well and masks the aniseed taste. Would make this again

    Very nice flavor. I did really like tarragon and fennel together.

    I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I have never cooked with sumac before. That will now be rectified as I have a little jar from Penzey’s and I will definitely make this salad again. I followed the recipe to the letter – although pomegranates are out of season I was able to buy one of those packs of the seeds. The balance of the licorice-ish fennel and tarragon, the creamy feta and the tangy pomegranate plus the tartness of the sumac, made for a really interesting mouthful. The only thing I might do differently when I make it again is leave out the tarragon as that flavor was a bit dominant.
