This may be my new favorite recipe! I seriously can’t get over how good it is. We received fennel in our CSA basket from Bloomsbury Farms last week. To be honest, I have not done a lot with fennel in the past so was trying to think of some different ways to use it. I think that is one of the best parts of having a CSA. You are more prone to try new stuff if you are given it.
I also had a lot of cabbage so decided to make a seasonal and refreshing summer slaw. I also really love a good slaw. It took me a while to figure out what type of dressing I wanted on it. I played around with different flavors and finally decided that the sweetness of the orange and fresh basil would complement the vegetables and peach perfectly.
You can easily make this ahead of time for any summer BBQ or event. I would recommend adding the peaches last minute so they don’t get too soggy!
Enjoy!
