Although listed as a winter recipe in Simply in Season, I actually used spring vegetables–all from tonight’s CSA pickup–for this side dish. The cabbages are mini cabbages, which I love since they are the perfect size.
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Coleslaw with Fennel
1/4 large head cabbage (shredded – I used two mini cabbages)
1 bulb fennel (quartered, cored, and sliced)
2 carrots (shredded)
1/4 cup onion (sliced – I substituted a handful of scallions)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (don’t forget you can make your own)
1 1/2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 Tbs honey
1 Tbs fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 Tbs Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1. Toss the vegetables together in a large bowl.
2. Whisk together remaining ingredients in a separate bowl; combine with vegetables and toss to coat; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Servings: 4
The Verdict: Oh my word, this was FABULOUS! Except . . . my husband decided to add SALAD TOPPINS to his second helping. Seriously, Salad Toppins? Oh well. A great use of fennel.

It was good without the toppings but it was even better WITH them. 🙂
I am glad to know I am not the only one with a husband who thinks Salad Toppins fixes things. All that shelf stable texturized soy protien… mmmm….
LOL on the salad toppings! Well, we can lead a horse or a husband to water….etc.
I adore fresh fennel and cabbage is one of my favorite foods, so I am totally gonna try this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it on the two for tuesday recipe blog hop!
mmmmm….fennel! I love the sound of mini-cabbages…and the sound of this coleslaw…delicious! thanks so much for sharing with Two for Tuesdays this week =)
Neato, I’ve never heard of mini-cabbages. How small are they? I adore all things liquorice-y, so I will definitely be trying fennel in my slaw next time I come across some. Thanks for bringing the great idea to the blog hop.
I love the sound of this slaw – fennel is a great addition. thanks for linking to Two for Tuesdays.
