SHAVED CARROT AND FENNEL SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Shaved Carrot and Fennel Salad with Honey Vinaigrette image

I love the flavors in this slaw-type salad. The licorice flavor from the fennel, the sweetness of the carrots, and the tangy-tart apricots meld to create a party in your mouth. And it's so colorful, too. Even better, this salad gets better over time, so it's a great make-ahead side dish.

FENNEL AND CARROT SLAW WITH OLIVE DRESSING

Fennel and Carrot Slaw With Olive Dressing image

From Farid Zadi. "Ingredients are considered 'spices' in Algerian cooking," says Zadi, and this slaw illustrates his point, with olives contributing saltiness, carrots and sun-dried tomatoes adding sweetness, and fennel and parsley lending an incredible freshness. In the dead of winter, when vegetables are scarce, the clean flavors of this salad are as close as you're likely to get to a summertime farmers market. Cook time is chill time.
