Fennel Slaw

Fennel coleslaw is so simple that no recipe is even required. You can simply add it to your favorite coleslaw recipe, or substitute it for some or all of the cabbage. My recipe, below, involves no cabbage, but rather a bouquet of fragrant herbs to compliment the fennel aroma. My choice is parsley and mint, but you could also mess around with basil, dill, chives, all in generous quantities.

1 fennel bulb, trimmed and grated into large shreds

1 medium sized carrot, shredded large ½ onion, sliced thinly

2 cloves garlic, shredded small

¼ cup white balsamic vinegar

½ cup mayo

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup chopped parsley

2 tablespoons minced mint

¼ cup chopped fennel fronds

Combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust as necessary. Serve with fish, or anywhere coleslaw is served.
