Power Slaw
Power slaw is a colorful, nutrient-packed salad made with kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, broccoli, beets, radishes, and rutabaga, all tossed with a creamy lemon dill dressing.
Servings: 8
Equipment
- box grater
- food processor optional
Ingredients
slaw
lemon-dill dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice, or more to taste
- 1 1/2 tsp creamy Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp honey or sugar, or more to taste
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
slaw (approximately 8 cups)
- 3 large leaves curly kale, de-stemmed
- 1 small kohlrabi, peeled
- 1 small rutabaga, peeled
- 1/2 small red cabbage, cored
- 1 golden beet, peeled
- 1 small watermelon radish, peeled
Instructions
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together and taste to adjust any of the ingredients. The sugar or honey is in there to help bring out the lemon flavor and balance any bitterness in the veggies. Set aside.
- Use a knife or your food processor fitted with the metal blade to finely chop the kale. Place it in a large bowl.
- Switch to the shredding blade in your processor, us use a box grater to grate the kolrabi and rutabaga. Add to the bowl.
- You can grate the cabbage in the processor, or for slightly larger shreds you can thinly slice by hand. Make sure to cut any longer slices in half before adding to the bowl.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the beet and watermelon radish into matchsticks. Add to bowl and toss everything together.
- Dress the salad but don't add all the dressing at once. Add some and toss. Keep adding and tossing until you're satisfied with the amount. This helps get the thick creamy dressing better distributed and avoids over-dressing. You may not need all of it.
- Store leftover slaw in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Use all or part Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise to reduce fat.
I avoid red beets because their color will bleed into the slaw and turn everything pink.
