4 servings
For the slaw
- 1 large fennel bulb, fronds reserved
- 2 medium granny smith apples, cored and julienned or thinly sliced
Chef's tipAny firm apple works; Granny Smith is the most tart, so expect a slightly sweeter result. - 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis can flag warming, aromatic spices like cinnamon as test-your-tolerance because they irritate some sensitive bladders, but the small culinary amount here is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteFresh ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh fennel fronds, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Halve the fennel bulb lengthwise, remove the tough outer layer and core, then use a mandoline or sharp knife to shave it into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
Add the julienned apple and carrot to the bowl with the fennel.
