Apple-fennel slaw

Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, grated
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the fennel, apple, carrots and raisins to make the slaw. Drizzle with olive oil, cover and refrigerate while preparing remaining ingredients.

In a small saucepan, mix together the sugar and apple juice. Place over medium heat and cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the apple cider vinegar. Pour the apple juice mixture over the slaw and stir to combine well.
