Kale Apple Beet Coleslaw
This kale apple coleslaw, with optional addition of beets, is a creative twist on traditional coleslaw, with a sweet and tart flavor combination. It is much lighter than traditional coleslaw and very nutritious!
Ingredients
- 1 small Green cabbage head shredded
- 1/2 small Purple cabbage head shredded
- 3 whole Carrots julienned, or buy pre-cut 10oz package
- 1 whole Green apple grated (and another apple if you want more tart)
- 2 whole Fuji apples or Gala, grated
- 1/2 whole Beet (optional) grated
- 3 c Kale or 3 large handfuls, shredded
- 1/2 c Dried cranberries low sugar
- 1/2 c Sunflower seeds shelled and roasted
Creamy Tangy Dressing
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain nonfat
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise the less processed ingredients, the better
- 3 tbsp Spicy mustard or deli mustard
- 2 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place shredded cabbages, shredded kale, julienned carrots, and grated apples. I grate the apples with a cheese grater right off of the core.
- In a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients to make the dressing: yogurt, mayo, spicy mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing into the large bowl and stir to combine with the coleslaw.
- Add remaining ingredients to coleslaw: cranberries, sunflower seeds, and grated beet (optional) and gently combine. The beet is added last and stirred in gently as it will quickly color the whole coleslaw pink if overmixed!
- While you can enjoy this salad for several days, it is best enjoyed the day it is made and yields enough for a party. Enjoy!
Notes
Depending on the size of your produce, this can yield quite a bit! Mix in a large bowl and remove some if there's not enough room to mix in the dressing.
