Red Cabbage and Fennel Slaw

Red cabbage. Destined for a slaw with fresh shaved fennel. I used a recipe on foodnetwork.com by Melissa d'Arabian. Yum! Serves 4.

Ingredients

• 1 fennel bulb, core removed, cut into quarters, and sliced very thinly, fronds reserved
• 1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 2 strips bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

For the dressing:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Toss the fennel, cabbage, scallions, and bacon together in a medium bowl. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, fennel fronds, sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the slaw and toss to coat.
