2 tablespoons prepared Indian curry paste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Categories     Vegan

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium apple, julienned thinly, tossed in
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups julienned kale leaves, stems discarded (red Russian or tuscan kale is great)
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
1 cup thinly sliced and julienned fennel bulb
1/4 cup craisins
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
2/3 cup almonds, ground (ground almond flour, found in the bulk section of grocery stores)
2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2/3 cup water
1 small garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • I start by making the dressing first in a high speed blender until smooth, then mixing it throughly with the kale to help soften it. The dressing includes the almond flour, vinegar, maple syrup, water, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and curry powder.
  • After the kale has been mixed with the dressing, toss the remaining ingredients with the kale. It is better if it sits a while before eating so the flavors can blend, but it is not essential. If you cannot find ground almond flour, you can use raw whole almonds but it will take more powerful blending to make it into a smooth and creamy dressing.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more tender.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like a milder flavor, start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste.
  • For a creamier slaw, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise or yogurt to the dressing.
  • Serve the slaw immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Curried slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage and carrots. With its unique flavor and crunchy texture, curried slaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
