Gluten Free Nut Free Low Carb Vegetarian Keto

Fennel slaw is a refreshing coleslaw made with white cabbage and fennel in a creamy dressing. A great low carb summer salad and side dish.

This low carb coleslaw recipe is full of flavour and the slight anise flavour of the raw fennel is uplifting. Allow the ingredients to develop and make this ahead.

What to serve with fennel slaw

As with any coleslaw, this recipe makes a great summer side dish. Serve as a side with a mushroom burger, nut loaf or our BBQ palm hearts.

How do you cut fennel for coleslaw

Make sure that the fennel bulb is firm and fresh. Older fennel will not cut well and is better being cooked that eaten raw.

With a sharp knife and steady hand, slice the top and bottom off the fennel bulb. Place the fennel upright on one cut side and slice in half. Turn the cut halves onto your cutting board, then thinly slice the fennel.

Recipe Tips

Add red cabbage for a dash of colour to the fennel slaw.

Keep the trimmed fronds from the fennel bulb for a garnish.

Add chopped walnuts as a garnish for a delicious flavour.
