Ingredients
Units
Scale
Coleslaw:
- 1/4 large head green cabbage (or 1/2 small head), shredded (~12 cups)
- 1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, halved, and shaved at 1.5 mm on a mandolin
- 1 red apple, halved and thinly sliced (1.5 mm thick)
- 1 cup dill leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 tsp caraway seeds
Dressing:
- 2 small clove garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Dressing: Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar.
- Toss! Place cabbage, fennel, apple, and dill in a very large bowl. Pour over Dressing, toss well.
- Sprinkle with caraway seeds, then toss again.
- Set aside for at least 1 hour to allow cabbage to wilt. Give it a good toss, then transfer to serving bowl and serve!
- Storage: Keeps perfectly for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Dressing stops apple from going brown. Best to bring to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Cabbage – about 12 cups packed (600g/1.2lb after removal of thick cabbage core).
- Fennel – the body of a medium one is about the size of a baseball.
- 1.5 mm = 0.06 inches thick.
- Caraway seeds add an extra something-something.
- Salt & sugar – dressing has less salt and more sugar for a sweet coleslaw-like flavor.
- Vinegar – taste as you go; apple cider vinegar complements the fresh apple.
