Fennel, Apple & Celery Root Slaw


Cabbage slaws are great... but after having them every weekend during summer barbecues, it was time for something new.  This three ingredient slaw has sturdy texture that holds up to a creamy dressing! The fennel's licorice flavor is nicely balanced by the granny smith apple as well as the honey in the dressing. Fantastic flavor combination!


You can make the entire slaw a day ahead of when you plan to eat it, but make sure to dress it shortly after you cut the ingredients, otherwise, without the acid, they start to brown very quickly.
