Chicory and fennel slaw

If you’re after a low-cal salad or you’re on the fasting diet, I highly recommend this crunchy chicory and fennel slaw. It’s healthy, easy to make and very low in calories. You can add some celery to it too if you like!  Serve it with grilled fish - or it makes a lovely condiment in a burger or flatbread too! If you’re on a calorie -restricted  diet leave out the oil or use a couple of squirts of 1 Cal oil spray!
