Apple & Fennel Slaw is good with everything. Apart from gravy.
I absolutely LOVE slaws and I’ve had to branch out a bit once I found out I feel much better if I avoid egg (and hence mayo). I found this amazingly fresh vegan Apple & Fennel Slaw recipe by David Page, Barbara Shinn from Fine Cooking. It appears to go with everything!
What you need:
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 tart apples
- 2 small heads fennel, cut into matchsticks
- 1 small red onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
What you do:
- Put the lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Cut one apple in half, core it and then julienne it using a Julienne Peeler and mix it with the lemon juice to stop it going brown. Repeat with the other apples.
- Toss in all the other ingredients and let it stand for at least 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
- Fight the kids for the last spoonful of Apple & Fennel Slaw.

I love this recipe!! Looks amazing, can’t wait to try it out!
It’s so fresh and quick but be careful with the julienne ‘thingy’ – I usually end up with a scrape or two out of my hand 😉
This looks so crunchy and tasty. I’m determined to getting back to healthy eating after a few weeks of too much sugar. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays x
Thanks Vicki and it really is a lovely fresh one!
I love apple. I love fennel. This looks like a match made in heaven!!!
It really is and so fresh!
Oh yum, this looks and sounds delish! I love all these ingredients #TastyTuesdays
It really is but be careful with the julienne thingy – it will grate your hand given half a chance 😉
I’m also a huge fan of slaws, especially the non-non-sickly creamy ones. I make my own with crisp slivers of crunchy veg, a lot of fresh herbs and a good balance of sugar and vinegar. This one looks yummy, and crucially, healthy!

Hi Fiona, thank you so much and I’m always on the look out for new slaw recipes! I’ve just popped over to your blog and seen you’re an ex cardiac nurse. I was a trainee perfusionist at Barts and our youngest had an AVSD repair at GOSH too. Cardiac nurses are a very impressive bunch 🙂 Your little one is so gorgeous x
