Kabocha Slaw

Shredded raw kabocha is mild and lightly crunchy with a bit of chew and makes for a delicious slaw with a sweet and tangy dressing. A few cranberries add bright acidic pops, parsley adds freshness, and toasted pumpkin seeds add nuttiness and crunch. Inspired by the recipe here.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries unsweetened, or barberries, or use fresh berries such as blueberries or raspberries
  • stevia glycerite to taste - I like to add a couple drops and toss the cranberries in it, or a tablespoon or two of liquid allulose, omit if using fresh berries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey, or coconut aminos with stevia glycerite added to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pound kabocha squash peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds toasted
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Toss the cranberries with stevia or sweetener of choice and set aside.
  • Whisk together the maple syrup, avocado oil, and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Add the kabocha, pumpkin seeds, and parsley and toss to coat evenly. Let stand for 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the berries.
