Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (about half a medium head) green cabbage, finely shredded
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon leaves
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium head fennel, thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Toss cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt in a colander or large mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Let stand until cabbage wilts, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving slaw immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. (Cabbage can be stored in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerated overnight.)
  • Stir together onion, honey, vinegar, oil, mustard, and tarragon in a medium bowl; set dressing aside. Immediately toss cabbage, apple, and fennel in dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This is a great slaw to make ahead of time. It actually gets better after it's had a chance to sit for a while.
