Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
Coleslaw:
- 8 slices 120g bacon
- 3/4 cup 65g fennel, finely sliced
- 2 cups 140g red cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups 140g white cabbage
- 1/2 cup 55g carrot, shredded
- Green part from 1 scallion ~15g, sliced lengthways
- 1 tbsp 4g fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup 15g fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup 15g fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Dressing:
- ¼ cup 56g extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp 15mL lime juice
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Bacon: Preheat oven to 400F / 200C / 180C fan. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bacon atop parchment paper in even layer and bake in oven until crisp, about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Once cooked, remove baking sheet from oven and allow bacon to cool slightly before cutting into small strips.
- Vegetables and Herbs: Slice fennel. Using a mandoline, food processor with shredding blade, or sharp knife, finely chop red and white cabbage. Using a julienne Y peeler, slice thin carrot strips (alternatively, grate carrot using grater). Using a sharp knife, slice spring onion lengthways into thin strips. Chop fresh herbs.
- Dressing: In a small bowl, mixing together all dressing ingredients.
- Final Steps: In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables, herbs, and dressing together. Top with crispy bacon and sesame seeds.
Notes
Fridge Storage: To ensure the slaw stays fresh and remains crunchy, it’s best to eat on the day prepared or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed the next day; however, it should be fine to eat within 3 days of preparing.
