Cabbage slaw is always a great way to enjoy vegetables, especially when combined with other tangy flavours such as sweet and tart granny smith apples and also fennel. Cool, crunchy and crispy, it is a great accompaniment and contrast to grilled meats or heavier fried foods. It’s also a great way to use up whatever leftover vegetables you have so feel free to modify the proportions of the vegetables you use and already have as leftovers whether it’s cabbage, apple or fennel ! I find that 1 cup of dressing, (as in this recipe) is sufficient for approximately 11-12 cups of salad. Enjoy... :)
