Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds raw or blanched
- 1/3 cup granular erythritol sweetener or granular low carb sweetener
- 2 tsp sriracha sauce (sugar free) or hot sauce, chili paste
- 1/3 red cabbage (12 oz or 350g) finely sliced or shredded
- 4 oz leafy greens spinach, kale, lettuce
- 4 oz broccoli florets sliced finely
- 3 scallions sliced (green or spring onions)
Dressing
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray by lining with parchment paper.
- Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat and toast the pepitas for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- When starting to brown, add the almonds and stir for 1 minute.
- Sprinkle over the erythritol and sriracha sauce and mix for 1-2 minutes until the erythritol is well dissolved and the mixture is sticky.
- Spoon the mixture into little clusters on the baking tray and allow to cool. As they cool, they will harden into crispy clusters.
- Combine the cabbage, leafy greens, broccoli and scallions into a large serving bowl.
For the dressing:
- Add the olive oil, the vinegar and the mustard to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Season to taste.
- Pour the dressing onto the salad and toss well. Top with the crispy clusters.
Notes
- Taking broccoli slaw to a party? Prepare the dressing in a jar and add to the salad up to half an hour before serving. Take nut clusters in a separate container to be added when serving.
- If possible, use a food processor to shred the cabbage. You get a nice fine shred and it is very quick.
- For a shortcut - use some pre-shredded slaw
- Leftovers? This salad is best eaten on the day but leftovers can be kept for a day or so in the fridge.
