Yields

4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 4 large broccoli stalks, trimmed and peeled
• 1 large carrot, peeled
• 1 apple (a variety like Granny Smith or Fuji works well), cored and sliced thinly
• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup dried raisins
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or slivered almonds

For the Tangy Apple Cider Vinaigrette:
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or date syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Using a box grater, salad shooter or food processor, grate the broccoli stalks and carrot into a large mixing bowl. You’re looking for a texture similar to coleslaw.
  2. Add the thinly sliced apple, red onion, dried raisins, and sunflower seeds (or slivered almonds) to the bowl with the grated broccoli stalks and carrot. Toss to combine.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sweetener in a small bowl until emulsified—season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  4. Pour the vinaigrette over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated. Let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes to marinate and soften slightly.
  5. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve the slaw as a fresh, tangy side dish that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a standalone salad.
