KALE AND CABBAGE SLAW WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Toast the nuts, if desired. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake whole, chopped, or slivered nuts in a preheated 350 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, checking and turning them frequently. Sliced almonds will take about half the time. Watch closely.
- Cut the middle rib out of each lacinato kale leaf. Roll the leaves up into a tight roll and slice them chiffonade-style into thin strips. Put the strips of kale in a large bowl. You should have about 2 to 3 cups.
- Cut the core out of the cabbage half and shred or chop the cabbage. Transfer the cabbage to the bowl with the kale.
- Toss the chopped nuts with the kale and cabbage. Prepare the Dressing
- In a canning jar or bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, minced garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk or shake well. Add a dash of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard vinaigrette over the salad. Toss the salad. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
- Serve with the extra dressing on the side.

KALE AND RED CABBAGE SLAW WITH WALNUTS
I can't remember where I heard or read about massaging raw kale with olive oil and a little salt, but it is a very effective way to soften the leaves just a bit if you are not cooking the kale. This briny slaw gets its crunch from red cabbage and walnuts.

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!)

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the kale and cabbage. This will help the slaw to be tender and crisp.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
- Be sure to rinse the kale and cabbage thoroughly before using. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- If you want a sweeter slaw, add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- For a tangier slaw, add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
- If you want a spicier slaw, add a little bit of chili pepper or cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- Serve the slaw immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Winter slaw is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy kale and cabbage. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish, give winter slaw a try.
