Total time: 25 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 0 min • Serves: 8 • Difficulty: Easy

A refreshing new take on slaw with no cruciferous veggies involved, this version is big on crunch and bold, bright flavors. Apples and celery marry well with fennel, and make for a colorful mix that's as pleasing to the eye as it is the palate. Fresh chopped mint leaves brighten the slaw even more. Use a mandoline, vegetable slicer, or the slicing disk of a food processor for easy prep of the vegetables, which are best when cut very thinly. Serve this vivid salad like you would any slaw -- alongside grilled meats or fish or on an outdoor picnic table or blanket. Or, make a double batch and watch this crowd-pleasing slaw disappear from the BBQ spread or fish fry buffet.
