Winter Kale Slaw
4 cups shredded, stemmed kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups shredded Savoy or green cabbage
1 cup shredded red cabbage 1 cup shredded carrots
¾ cup packed chopped Italian parsley
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
1 teaspoon sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
In an extra-large bowl combine kale, olive oil, and salt. Using your fingers, rub the kale to help soften it and brighten its color. Rinse the kale in a colander under cool running water; drain well and return to the bowl. Add the cabbages and carrots; toss to combine.
For dressing, in a food processor or blender combine the next eight ingredients (through garlic). Cover and process or blend to combine.
Add dressing to kale mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with pepitas. Makes 10 servings (¾ cup each).
To make ahead: Prepare salad as directed. Cover and chill up to 24 hours.
