Fennel and Red Cabbage Coleslaw
The crisp, fresh texture of fennel makes an excellent addition to coleslaw. The mild anise or licorice-like flavor adds interest and gives regular coleslaw a nice twist. In other words, try some fennel in your favorite coleslaw recipe, or if you’re looking for a new coleslaw recipe, try this red cabbage and fennel slaw.
