Fennel and mango slaw
With its bright, bold flavour and crunchy texture, the bursts of lime and (optional) chilli, this fennel and mango slaw is as exciting bite of food as any plateful of salad will ever be. The facts that it takes less than 15 minutes to put together and requires only 5 ingredients don't hurt either. Make sure all of your ingredients are at their peak; as this is such a simple salad, every ingredient counts.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 large head of fennel or 2 small ones
- 3 mangoes preferably the yellow ones
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small jalapeno or 1 teaspoon chilli flakes optional
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice fennel thinly. Peel mango, remove pit and slice into pieces of the same size as the fennel. Cut cilantro leaves from the stems (reserve stems for broth), and mince them finely. If using fresh jalapeno, remove the membrane and seeds and chop the pepper very finely.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, dress with lime, olive oil, salt and pepper. Taste, and correct seasonings as needed (you may want more lime juice).
