Ingredients

1
cup celery, thinly sliced
1
cup flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1/4
cup shallot, thinly sliced
1
large fennel bulb
1
large crisp, sweet apple, thinly sliced (we used Gala)
1
cup angel hair cabbage
1
lemon
1
orange
1
tsp. sugar
1
Tbsp. sherry vinegar
2
Tbsp. creole mustard
2
tsp. honey
1
clove garlic, minced
2/3
cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper

Directions

Slice fennel bulb thinly, reserving the fronds. Finely chop fennel fronds to equal 1 ½ Tbsp., to sprinkle over salad.

In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients.

Juice the lemon and orange, removing any seeds. In a small bowl combine the lemon juice, orange juice, sugar, vinegar, mustard, honey, and garlic. Let citrus mixture stand for 10 minutes. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to combine. Sprinkle fennel frond over salad and serve.
