This bright Vegan ABC + K Slaw recipe boasts a perfect combination of sour, sweet, and crunchy. Raw apples, beets, carrots, and kale are dressed with a light and vibrant orange vinaigrette to add another level of brightness. Toss in a handful of dried cranberries and sunflower seeds for extra flavor and crunch. The recipe is vegan and vegetarian-friendly.
You will need just a few ingredients to toss up this healthy and fresh-tasting salad. Start with the veggies. Peel the beets and carrots and use a food processor or mandoline to cut them into matchsticks. I prefer to cut the apples into matchsticks by hand, but you can use your food processor or mandoline too. To prep the kale, remove the stem and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the apples, beets, carrots, kale, and cranberries in a large bowl. To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat well. Garnish with sunflower seeds and serve.
