Fennel Slaw
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 3 fennel bulbs (finely shaved)
- 1 red onion, small (finely shaved)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 -2 garlic clove
- 1⁄4 cup rice wine vinegar (or white balsamic vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
directions
- Cut the fennel (Anise) bulbs in half and remove the core. Shave on a mandoline or in a food processor. Cut the red onion in half, tip to root, and shave half moons the same way.
- Combine the vegetables in a bowl and add the chopped, fresh dill.
- With a mortar and pestle, smash the garlic with salt and pepper, adding the honey, vinegar and oil slowly. I like the pear-infused white balsamic vinegar. The rice wine vinegar is sweeter, so you might add more honey with the balsamic.
- When well combined, drizzle over vegetables, toss well and chill for at least 1 hour (if you have the time), to wilt onions slightly.
- Check seasoning.
- I serve this in a bowl with warm lentils in the bottom, crispy fish (Salmon or Rockfish) on the lentils and the slaw on top. Comfort food at its best.

I made this but substituted white onions since I had them already sliced. I sliced the fennel and onions with a knife as thin as I could. This salad is really very fresh and delicious. It is so much better than cole slaw and I think green cabbage could also be added and be great. I don't really like dill, but here it made the dish.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
So, a bit about me: I love to eat, love to cook and am married to a chef (lucky me).
I have recently recovered from Thyroid issues and adult-onset food allergies. My husband and I welcomed our first child into this world in July. I had a hard pregnancy and spent most of it on bedrest. I gained 65 pounds. I've decided to chronicle my weight loss through recipezaar and also include some baby food recipes as I come up with them.

This is from Sharon123--my first zaar aquaintance. I prepared serveral of her "jar" recipes as Christmas gifts and they were such a hit. This is the cookbook that sold me on this site! We even used Sharon123's Viennese Beet Preserves at our wedding reception!
