SWEET AND TANGY COLESLAW WITH FENNEL AND ORANGE
Steps:
- 1. Combine vinegar, oil, orange juice, and pepper in medium glass or metal bowl. Place bowl in freezer until vinegar mixture is well chilled, at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. 2. While mixture chills, toss cabbage with 1 teaspoon salt and sugar in large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with large plate and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Stir briefly, recover, and continue to microwave on high power until cabbage is partially wilted and has reduced in volume by one-third, 30 to 60 seconds longer. 3. Transfer cabbage to salad spinner and spin cabbage until excess water is removed, 10 to 20 seconds. Remove bowl from freezer, add cabbage, orange zest, fennel, fennel fronds, and raisins to cold vinegar mixture and toss to combine. Adjust flavor with sugar or vinegar and season with salt to taste. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes. Toss again before serving.

Steps:
- Chop the apples (I don't peel them).
- In a small bowl mix the orange juice concentate, mayo, dijon, and salt. In a large serving bowl toss the coleslaw mix, rice, and apples.
- Mix the dressing with the slaw until well coated. Stir in the pecans.
- Chill before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For a coleslaw with a crisp texture, use a firm head of green or red cabbage. Avoid using savoy cabbage, as it has a softer texture and will not hold up well in the coleslaw.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, broccoli, or bell peppers. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for coleslaw can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the coleslaw.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving: Coleslaw is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the coleslaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Sweet orange coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet, tangy, and creamy dressing, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
