Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw, is the perfect salad to introduce raw kale to the family! Plus this salad is so good, you don't need to be worried about anyone NOT liking it! Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw, is not too sweet, and everyone I know loves it...my guess is, so will you.
I am not shy about sharing my frugal beliefs and the ways to manage food creatively. And this salad is proof that frugal can also be quite delicious! The act of frugal food management is preparing and enjoying food while using what you already have on hand, in a timely manner. To get the most nutrition and enjoyment out of what you prepare and serve at meal times.
This may include a bit of a trial and (possible) error. But I will tell you right now, this is also a fun and delicious way to let your creative juices flow! But cooking on the fly is not new. Your grandmother did it every day of the week in her kitchen. Plus she probably didn't have a store five minutes away or meal delivery services available...
Especially in today's inflationary times, frugal is a good way to be...
It can also be a fun journey for you to follow, in your own modern kitchen as well. I invite you to honor your family's past and, cook with what you have. Because that is exactly how Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw came to be. This salad is best made in the morning for lunch or dinner later that day. It allows the kale to soften just a bit. However if time is tight, simply massage the kale before adding it to the rest of the ingredients, that will do the trick.
Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw remains crisp tender with a nice crunch, and does not end up swimming in too much dressing. Plus Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw can be easily turned into a main dish salad with the addition of protein such as diced ham or cheese...or any other protein of your choice. And honestly this is how I dress up leftovers, turning them into lunch for the next day. Come on, let's make a Kale Apple and Carrot Slaw, because these ingredients are available throughout the year.
