DAZZLING WINTER SLAW - RED CABBAGE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD
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!)

Steps:
- In an extra-large bowl combine the kale, salt, and olive oil. Using your hands, rub the kale to help soften it and brighten its color (personally, I.
- prefer to steam it for a few mins). Rinse the kale in a colander under cool running water; drain well and return to the bowl. Add the savoy cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots; toss to combine. Set slaw aside.
- For the dressing, in a food processor or blender combine the parsley, mayonnaise, sour cream, green onion, vinegar, tarragon, sugar, and garlic. Cover and process or blend to combine.
- Add the dressing to the vegetable mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle pepitas over the salad.
Tips for Making the Best Winter Slaw:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your slaw a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include shredded cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you can also try using a creamy dressing or a tangy dressing made with citrus juice.
- Let the slaw marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Serve the slaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
Conclusion:
Winter slaw is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, a main course, or a snack. With its variety of flavors and textures, it's sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give winter slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
