Instead of serving on top of greens on individual plates, you can also simply pass the slaw.

Fresh fennel is reasonably new to Canadian cuisine, though it’s been used extensively in Mediterranean cooking for centuries. It has a mild licorice flavor. The bulb is delicious used in salads, soups and stews. The frond, though beautiful, is rarely used in cooking.
