Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Fennel bulb
- 0.5 head Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Use a knife or mandoline to thinly slice the fennel bulb and green cabbage into fine shreds. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the fennel and cabbage.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the vegetables for added flavor and color.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the slaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Let the slaw sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.
Serve the slaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
