breakin the slaw


it's no secret that i hate cole slaw. maybe it is. i don't mean it to be.

it's so awful.

well, tonight i made a fish fry and i just felt like...a fish fry without a slaw of sorts? well, that'd be just wrong.

so here is a recipe i made up for all of you out there that hate the classic cole slaw and prefer to have something edible on your plate...rather than something that is basically peeing on the rest of your food.

it's definitely not a typical cole slaw, and coud very well be totally disqualified by it's decided lack of cabbage or whatever that wet milky mess is that covers it like a plague, but it's unbelieveably delicious nonetheless.

1 small head of fennel, chopped roughly
1/4 c parsey, torn up
1 ruby red grapefruit, cubed
1 small red onion, chopped
a handful of radishes, sliced thin then cut the rounds into quarters
fresh cracked black pepper

mix it all up together and serve. serves about 4. it has a great combination of flavors: spicy radishes, sweet fennel and grapefruit, tangy onion, hot pepper, and the indescribable green of parsley. good god how i love parsley.

Don't add olive oil. NO NEED. It's so JANTLE with no dressin'.
