I found this unusual recipe in cook book "The Cook and The Butcher." We both love fennel and this is a nice, different, refreshing salad.

Ingredients

  • - grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • - freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin oilive oil

How To Make fennel-parsley slaw

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and the juice and oregano. Add salt and season with pepper. Whisk in the oil and mayonnaise.
  • Step 2
    Trim the stalks from the fennel bulbs and discard. Quarter each bulb and trim away the triangle of core at the base. Cut the quarters crosswise as thinly as possible.
  • Step 3
    Add the fennel, parsley, and bell pepper to the bowl and toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  • Step 4
    Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour, then toss again just before serving.
  • Step 5
    I found it was just as good the next day as leftovers. As you can see by the picture I did not have red bell pepper so I used green.
