Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large fennel bulb
- 1 large green apple
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and cutting off the base. Slice the fennel as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the sliced fennel into a large mixing bowl.
Core the green apple and slice it into thin matchsticks. Add the apple matchsticks to the bowl with the fennel.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips. Add the carrot to the bowl with the fennel and apple.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the fennel, apple, and carrot mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the slaw. Toss again to incorporate the parsley.
Let the slaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
