Spring is in the air – I can smell it! With warmer days and lighter nights, I like to start adding a little more fresh, or raw, foods to my plate. What better way than with a great slaw!
This version is refreshing with a lemon, vinegar and olive oil dressing and has a hint of sweetness from the raisins. I also love the surprise flavor of fennel. Whether you are grilling out, or staying in, it’s an easy complimentary side!
