  6. Add the fennel and apple to the bowl with the kale. Add the poppy seeds to the jar with the slaw dressing, shake or whisk, and pour it over the kale, fennel, and apple.

Notes

  • Lacinto kale (also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale) is the least bitter and the best for kale salads and this kale slaw.
  • Use an apple for this apple kale slaw that is crisp and sweet, like a Honeycrisp.
  • You can make this fennel apple kale slaw up to one day ahead of time. Leftovers can be stored for a few days, but the kale slaw will lose its crispness over time.
