Winter Slaw
My winter slaw is refreshing, crisp and crunchy, full of vibrant seasonal produce and loaded with flavor. Drizzled with a citrus vinaigrette, it's perfect as a salad, side or sandwich topping.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 4 cups curly or tuscan kale, thinly sliced
- 2 pears, cut into matchsticks
- 1 large shallot or 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
- ⅓ cup roasted pepitas
- ⅓ cup toasted walnuts or pecans, chopped
- kosher salt and pepper
citrus vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced or pressed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, kale, pears, carrots and pomegranate. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss well. Add in the pepitas and nuts. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the dressing and toss. Let the slaw sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- You can assemble the ingredients ahead of time, just want to dress until a few minutes before serving.
citrus vinaigrette
- Whisk all ingredients together until combined and emulsified. This dressing stays great in the fridge for about a week.
