Preparation

Step 1
Fill a salad spinner three-fourths full with cold water. Add juice of lemon. With mandolin, thinly slice fennel and fruit. Place slices in lemon-water to prevent browning.
Step 2
For the vinaigrette, combine lemon juice and cider in a bowl and whisk in oil until blended. Season to taste.
Step 3
Drain off water from slaw and spin to dry. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle with ½ cup of the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Add pumpkin seeds and cilantro and toss again. Add more dressing if necessary to lightly coat.
