20. Christmas slaw

This recipe is a little bit like our much-loved and lamented super slaw, only with a Christmassy twist. Instead of tamari cashews, we're using lightly candied and spiced pecans and we're keeping the colour pallet of the crisp julienned vegetables and herbs to red, green and white: beetroot, red cabbage, fennel, kohlrabi, kale, parsley and dill.  We are particularly enamoured of the dressing - it's tangy from pomegranate molasses and red wine vinegar, has a touch of sweetness from maple syrup and generally makes what is actually a super healthy salad feel like a total treat.

Beetroot, red cabbage, fennel, kohlrabi, kale, parsley, dill, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, red wine vinegar, maples syrup, salt.

Pecans: pecans, coconut oil, rosemary, brown sugar, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt.

A fabulous side for the Christmas ham or as part of a vegetarian or traditional Christmas spread.
