fennel & apple slaw

Fennel & apple slaw marries the aniseed flavour with the sharpness of crisp green apple. A great side dish for any Summer barbecue.

Fennel and apple slaw is a dish I created when trying to convince my husband to eat fennel. Fennel is a marmite vegetable, you either love it or hate it! I believe the liquorice smell puts many people off. However this doesn’t come across nearly as heavy when you eat it. I’d tried to explain that him, but he was having none of it! Rather than tell everyone they were eating fennel, I just told the family is was coleslaw. Everyone ate it and my husband said it was really good. Only then did I confess that it was in fact fennel he was eating.

Although bulb-like in appearance, fennel is in fact a member of the carrot family. Eaten raw as in this slaw, it has a lovely crunch and the flavour is more anise than liquorice. Fennel and apple slaw works great with pork, chicken, fish and other vegetables. Which makes it perfect for serving at a Summer barbecue.

 

If you like this recipe try our Creamy Potato Salad, our Harissa & Chickpea Salad or our Italian Marinated Aubergine, great barbecue sides. This dish tastes great with our Pork & Chorizo Burgers.

Ingredients

  • 2 fennel bulbs (finely sliced)
  • 2 green apples (finely julienned)
  • 1 small red onion (finely sliced)
  • 1 large carrot (finely julienned)
  • 2 small radish (finely sliced)
  • 2 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoon good quality mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all the vegetables and herbs together in a large salad bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl mix together the mayonnaise and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the salad dressing over the vegetables and give everything a good stir together to combine. Place the salad in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

Notes

If you have a food processor with a large grating blade you can save time by using this to grate all the vegetables. Do not use too fine a grating blade or you will loose too much crunch!
