SHAVED CARROT AND FENNEL SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE



Shaved Carrot and Fennel Salad with Honey Vinaigrette image

I love the flavors in this slaw-type salad. The licorice flavor from the fennel, the sweetness of the carrots, and the tangy-tart apricots meld to create a party in your mouth. And it's so colorful, too. Even better, this salad gets better over time, so it's a great make-ahead side dish.
