There’s no better time than winter to enjoy a vibrant coleslaw. Slaws aren’t just picnic or barbecue fare; crunchy, hearty versions shine in the colder months. Winter slaws rely on sturdy, seasonal produce that delivers both texture and nourishment when we need it most.
Hearty slaws are built on a foundation of shredded crucifers, brassicas, and root vegetables—think cabbages, kales, broccoli, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. These ingredients are naturally in season throughout the winter and are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Topped with bright winter citrus juice or a punchy vinaigrette and finished with grains, nuts, or seeds, a winter slaw offers layers of flavor, texture, and substance.
