Fennel, Apple, and Radicchio Slaw
Serves 6
Licorice-flavoured fennel, tart apple, and a hint of pleasant bitterness from radicchio combines with a touch of sweet dressing for a refreshingly delicious salad. Fennel contains a number of vitamins and minerals known to be involved in digestion, including vitamin C, manganese, and niacin which helps transform the food you eat into energy. Apple adds sweet crunch and all-important fibre.

Core and slice fennel and apple and slice into matchsticks. Add to bowl with dressing. Coat apple with the dressing so apple slices don’t brown. Slice radicchio finely and add to bowl. Add mint and toss entire mixture together, adding a few gratings of orange zest and fennel fronds as you serve.
