Apple Fennel Slaw {with Orange Cumin Dressing}
I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That’s exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw.
I also discovered that no matter how many ways I prepare it, B is not going to eat fruit. So Apple Fennel Slaw with Orange Cumin Dressing made a lovely side dish with our Oven Fried Chicken. And I had plenty leftover for my lunch the next day.
Recipe note: I would not recommend preparing more than four hours ahead of serving. The dressing flavor became a little over powering by the next day. If you must prepare ahead, wait to toss the fennel mixture in the dressing until just before serving.
