Anthony’s Fennel Slaw

We are often asked how to use fennel leaves. They have a nice anise flavor that they will lend to a dish either used as a chopped up herb, or as a garnish added at the final stage. They can be also added to stews or vegetable dishes. The anise-like flavor pairs well with citrus and in cabbage salads.

The following recipe is borrowed from the Capay Valley Farm Shop. It's simple and super yummy!
