Ingredients Needed
- 6 to 8 large kale leaves , centre rib removed
- 6 ounces Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved, and cored
- ½ small head radicchio, cored
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- ½ cup good olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 6 ounces Parmesan cheese, in a chunk
- 1 cup dried cranberries
How To Make Barefoot Contessa Winter Slaw
- Shred the greens: Thinly slice the kale, Brussels sprouts, and radicchio crosswise like coleslaw. Place in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Dress the slaw: Pour just enough dressing over the salad to lightly moisten it, reserving the rest.
- Add toppings: Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan into large shards. Add Parmesan and dried cranberries to the slaw.
- Toss and serve: Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break the Parmesan shards. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more vinaigrette if needed. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips
- Use a mandoline: For ultra-thin shreds, use a mandoline instead of a knife.
- Massage the kale: If you prefer a softer texture, massage the kale with a bit of the dressing before mixing.
- Make ahead: The slaw can be prepped a few hours in advance; just add the cheese and cranberries right before serving.
- Try different cheeses: Pecorino Romano or aged Gouda work great if you don’t have Parmesan.
- Add nuts: Toasted walnuts or almonds add extra crunch and flavour.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftover winter slaw sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
