Beet Slaw

Pantry To Table
This is a gorgeous slaw! It’s not your typical side dish; beets seem to be one of the less popular veggies, sad to say. But, this slaw is not only colorful, it’s full of tasty, healthy vegetables.

Equipment

  • Food processor with shredding blade
  • Microplane

Ingredients
  

For the slaw:

  • 6 medium beets, peeled and shredded
  • 10 ounces carrots, peeled and shredded
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
  • 2 cups kale, leaves only, chopped
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, small dice
  • 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Citrus Vinaigrette:

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed, if possible
  • 1 orange, zested on a microplane, see Notes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons excellent-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the Citrus Vinaigrette ingredients together in a 2-cup measuring cup or small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine all the slaw ingredients together in a very large bowl; it makes it easier to stir everything.
  • Stir the vinaigrette once more and add to the vegetables. Toss to coat thoroughly.
  • Serve immediately at room temperature or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to allow the flavors to "marry" for about an hour before serving.
  • Before serving, toss everything together and taste. Adjust seasoning if preferred.
  • Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5 days.

Notes

You may need to purchase 2 oranges; one to zest, plus squeezing to produce1/2 cup orange juice from both.
You can use a package of pre-shredded carrots if you prefer over shredding your own.
