Cut heads in half lengthwise, then shave into paper-thin strips (see Notes) or cut into thin slivers. 3. In a bowl, combine fennel and bell peppers. Drizzle with dressing and mix gently to coat; cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day (see Notes). Just before serving, sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds.

Prep Time: about 25 minutes. Notes: Paper-thin strips of fennel are easy to cut on a mandoline. We like this slaw after it has been chilled in its dressing overnight, but it's also good after just an hour. ChupaNote: use 1/4 crushed red pepper flakes for the pepper, and sea salt not that iodized stuff. ----- ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.
