  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 1 large apple, cored and julienned (preferably a tart variety like Granny Smith)
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced fennel, julienned apple, and finely shredded cabbage. Toss them together gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
  3. Step 3: Pour the dressing over the fennel, apple, and cabbage mixture. Use tongs or a spatula to toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  4. Step 4: Add the chopped parsley to the slaw and give it another gentle toss to incorporate the herbs evenly throughout.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing side dish. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but be aware that the vegetables may soften over time.
  • This slaw is best enjoyed cold, so if you need to reheat it for any reason, consider warming it gently in a skillet while avoiding high heat to prevent wilting the cabbage.
  • Serve the slaw alongside grilled meats or as a topping for sandwiches and tacos to add a crisp, tangy flavor that balances richness.
  • To enhance the flavor, allow the slaw to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving; this resting time helps the ingredients meld beautifully together, creating a more harmonious taste.
