Servings: 10 servings
Equipment
- mandoline slicer or food processor
Ingredients
slaw
- 1 cup shredded red beets
- 1 cup shredded golden beets
- 1 cup shredded Chioggia pink beets
- 1 cup shredded fennel
- 1/2 cup shredded kohlrabi
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded kale
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage, Savoy or Napa
- 1/4 tsp mustard seed
- 1/4 tsp fennel seed
- 1/4 tsp caraway seed
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
dressing
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange or tangerine juice
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp mild white vinegar like Champagne or white wine
- 1 tsp creamy Dijon mustard
- pinch of salt
- pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
the dressing
- I like to put all the ingredients in a mason jar, screw the lid on tight, and shake shake SHAKE! The shaking will emulsify the dressing, making it creamy. Once emulsified, it shouldn't separate into oil and vinegar. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients to your liking. Note: you can also do this in a small food processor, or with an immersion blender.
the slaw
- Toss the shredded veggies and seeds together in a large bowl and add enough dressing to moisten. You can refrigerate the slaw several hours before serving if you'd like. Season with salt and pepper and add more dressing to taste just before serving.
Notes
- You don't have to use such a wide variety of veggies like I did, sometimes less is more, and I love the combo of beet and fennel, for instance.
- A classic creamy slaw dressing would work too: whisk together 1/2 cup mayo, 2 Tbsp sour cream, a little grated onion, 1 Tbsp white vinegar, sugar to taste (start with 1 tsp) 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tsp celery seed, salt and pepper to taste. Thin down with a little milk if necessary. Taste and adjust anything to your liking.
