Fennel, Tangerine & Olive Slaw
serves 4 to 6
1 large fennel bulb, cored, (with fronds)
1 Granny Smith apple
4 tangerines, peeled and sliced thinly
¼ cup sliced Castelvetrano olives (slice around the pit as best as possible), or sliced green olives
Vinaigrette
zest and juice of 1 tangerine
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1 tsp honey
1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard
2 tsp sherry or rice vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper
Remove the fennel fronds and save for later.
With a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the fennel bulb crosswise into very fine matchsticks and place in a large serving bowl. Prepare the apple the same way. Add the apple and the orange slices to the fennel and then toss with the olives.
For the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a tightly sealed jar. Shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss once more. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To serve, tear the fronds and any blossoms and sprinkle decoratively on top of the slaw.
