Autumn rainbow slaw with fennel and apple

The perfect seasonal slaw to take along to a bbq or cosy indoor catch up with friends and family. Love this recipe teamed with grilled fish such as barramundi or snapper. Grilled chicken also works well and for pure vego add a juicy handful (about 1 cup) of cooked chickpeas or butterbeans to your serve.

A few quick tips: Use your choice of veges and fruits in the slaw based on what’s in season and available to you, for examples:

• swap red apple for green apple
• fennel for zucchini
• snow peas for sugar snaps
• red cabbage for green cabbage
• use any fresh herbs you like in this recipe
