Dressing
32 ounces nonfat vegetable stock, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic
1/2 shallot, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sweet Thai chile sauce, such as Mae Ploy
1/4 cup apple cider (or rice wine) vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Slaw
1/4 cup pecan pieces
1/2 teaspoon dark chili powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pound red cabbage, shredded
1/4 pound green cabbage, shredded
1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Stir 1/2 cup vegetable stock with cornstarch in a measuring cup until blended. Bring remaining 28 ounces stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly whisk in stock-cornstarch mixture. Stir rapidly until stock is the consistency of olive oil. (It should cling to the back of a spoon.) Cool to room temperature, skim off and discard any film on top. Place cumin seeds in a dry sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stir until aroma of seeds is released, about 1 minute.
  • Blend 1/4 cup stock in a blender with cumin seeds and remaining dressing ingredients until smooth. (Refrigerate or freeze leftover stock.) Heat oven to 350°F. Combine pecans, chili powder and oil in a mixing bowl; toss to coat pecans. Place nuts on a cookie sheet and roast until the aroma of the chili powder is released, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine dressing and slaw ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

DAZZLING WINTER SLAW - RED CABBAGE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD



Dazzling Winter Slaw - Red Cabbage, Apple and Pecan Salad image

A dazzling coleslaw salad for your winter festive table. Red cabbage is mixed with apples, carrots, pecans and onions which is then dressed with a tangy mustard and nut vinaigrette - fabulous! Plus, the colours as well as the taste, is amazing! This goes so well with cold cuts, pies, tarts, quiches, buffets as well as being a wonderful supper or light lunch accompaniment. I do all the shredding and grating in my food processor, it is so easy and cuts down on time. You can of course grate and shred by hand - it will just take a little longer! I sometimes add semi-dried cranberries and grated beetroot - these are listed as optional exras. The pie shown in the photograph, is my Recipe #268117, which I often serve with this winter slaw salad - they make a wonderful combination. (This recipe was posted to our personal preferences - with a light dressing and not a creamy or heavy dressing; if you like your salads with more dressing - please adjust the dressing quantities up!)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Red cabbage adds a beautiful color to the slaw, but you can also use green cabbage or a mix of both. If you're using red cabbage, be sure to wash it thoroughly to remove any excess color.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of textures: The combination of crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado, and soft pecans gives this slaw a nice textural contrast. You can also add other crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or jicama.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors a chance to meld together. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the slaw chilled: This will help the flavors to really pop. You can chill the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can make it ahead of time and chill it overnight.

Conclusion:

This red chile and pecan slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
