About

This is a bit rad as it is coleslaw without the cabbage. But it is pretty addictive, and healthy, and a practically perfect pal for gammon/ham.

Ingredients

½ bulb fennel, very finely sliced
½ head of radicchio, shredded

Method

Toss the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk the yogurt with the date syrup, horseradish, lime, spices and seasoning. Finally, stir the beetroot into the slaw, mix in the dressing, and sprinkle with mint. This will survive until the next day, and is a good lunch box filler.
