Chef notes
This is a new twist on classic coleslaw. This version has no mayo and lots of bright fresh flavors. Its great with any protein or even on its own.
Technique tips: Save your fennel fronds for garnish; they're beautiful and flavorful! If preparing the slaw in advance, let the julienned apple sit in lemon juice to prevent browning.
Swap options: The dressing is a great base for any slaw; customize the veggies to your liking.
