Squash and Root Vegetable Slaw

This vibrant squash and root vegetable slaw is a refreshing alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based salads. By using raw butternut squash, earthy swede, and sweet potato, you create a colourful base that is both crunchy and naturally sweet. The addition of crisp apple matchsticks and a tangy cider vinaigrette provides a bright acidity that cuts through the starchiness of the root vegetables perfectly.

As a versatile vegan side dish, this slaw is an excellent addition to a winter buffet or as a fresh accompaniment to roasted mains. Preparing the vegetables in advance and chilling them overnight ensures they stay incredibly crisp. It is a nutritious, fibre-rich option that brings a welcome bit of zest and garden-fresh flavour to the table during the colder months.

How to make Squash and Root Vegetable Slaw

Combine 350g each shredded raw kabocha or butternut squash, rutabaga, and sweet potato in a large resealable plastic bag. Place 350ml shredded raw celery root in a large bowl of water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning; cover. Chill shredded vegetables overnight. Drain celery root. Transfer shredded vegetables to a large bowl. Add 2 peeled, quartered, cored apples cut into matchstick-size pieces (we love crisp, balanced Fuji). Add 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves and 1/2 cup 1" pieces chives. Add 3/4 cup Granny Smith Apple Cider Vinaigrette; toss to coat. Add more vinaigrette, if desired. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
