I have just started to use fennel (thanks to FN. I prepared this recipe last night and we both loved it; it is even great w/o the bacon. Thanks to FN and chefs like Melissa, I am now a much more adventurous cook and really enjoy cooking again.

Was looking forward to this given all the positive reviews but it was just so so. The dressing had too much vinegar in it for me, there was too much dressing overall, and not enough fennel to even really taste it (although my heads were small. It barely got touched at the BBQ we went to and since I have to figure out what to do with the other half a cabbage and it is over dressed I guess I'm adding a can of garbanzo beans and some more cabbage and having lunch for the week.

This is one of the best slaws I've ever eaten. Lots of raves at dinner - even by those who don't like traditional cole slaw. We call this a "keeper" in our house.
