Ingredients
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and julienned (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sliced fennel and julienned apple.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the fennel and apple mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Fold in the chopped parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Tips
For a creamier slaw, add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt or mayonnaise to the dressing.
This slaw is best served within a few hours of making to maintain crispness.
Try adding a handful of dried cranberries or toasted walnuts for extra texture.
