Cilantro Lime Turnip Slaw and Honey Mustard Slaw

Recipe Video

Ingredients:

Crunchy veggies of choice (cabbage, carrot, turnips, green onions, or kohlrabi): These will create the base to your slaw. Think outside the box and grab any crunchy vegetable you have on hand.
Cilantro: An essential to any slaw.
Acid of choice, olive oil and yogurt (optional for a creamy slaw): Lime juice or apple cider vinegar combine with olive oil to create a beautiful dressing. Want to make it creamy? Add a dollop of your favorite yogurt.
Coriander, cumin, salt & pepper: For seasoning.

Steps to Culinary Bliss:

  1. Water Bath Turnips: Julienned turnips can be placed in an ice bath to enhance their flavor.
  2. Salt Cabbage: Lightly salt cabbage and let sit before mixing with other vegetables. This step will prevent a soggy slaw.
  3. Bonus Tip: Add sliced green onions to ice bath to mellow their flavor.

Storage Tips:

  • Not ready to serve? Keep prepped vegetables separate from dressing until 15-20 before serving. Once dressed slaw will remain crunchy for 2 hours.
