Instructions
Trim the stalks and fronds from the fennel bulbs. Reserve a few of the feathery fronds for garnish, if desired.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the fennel mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Transfer the fennel slaw to a serving dish, garnish with reserved fennel fronds, and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
