Ingredients
For the Slaw
1 cup fennel, sliced
2 medium green apples, diced
2 cups cabbage, shredded
For the Green Mayonnaise Dressing
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup mint, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Crunch
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sliced fennel and diced green apples. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss to coat.
In a small food processor, add the mint and parsley and pulse briefly. Add the vegan mayonnaise, salt, and pepper, then blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cabbage and half of the chopped pecans to the fennel and apple mixture.
Pour the green mayonnaise dressing over the slaw and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with the remaining pecans and a few fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately or let the slaw sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
Let the slaw rest 10 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Swap pecans with walnuts or sunflower seeds for a different crunch.
For extra brightness, add a little lemon zest to the dressing.
This salad pairs well with grilled vegetables, sandwiches, or plant-based bowls.
