If you've always thought coleslaw was ho-hum, wait until you try it with sweet apple and crisp fennel. The unexpected flavour combo is completely addictive.

Ingredients

  • 2 apples, preferably Granny Smith
  • 2 lemons
  • 1/2 napa or 1/4 red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 colourful peppers or 1/2 fennel bulb
  • 1 cup (250 mL) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) plain yogourt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) celery seeds
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
Add to Grocery List
  1. Core unpeeled apples, then julienne. Place in a large bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss to coat. Thinly shred cabbage with a sharp knife and slice peppers. Add to apples. If using fennel, remove fronds and set aside. Cut out and discard fennel core. Place cut-side down on a chopping board, then thinly slice. Add to apple mixture.
  2. For dressing, squeeze ΒΌ cup (50 mL) of juice from lemons into a small bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, yogourt, celery seeds and salt until evenly mixed. Drizzle over salad and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours. Will keep well overnight. If using fennel, top salad with fronds just before serving.
