Simple Fall Slaw

6 servings
A healthy slaw loaded with fall veggies and fruits and a tahini-apple cider dressing! Crisp, refreshing, and comes together in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup broccoli

    finely chopped

  • 1 medium beet

    cut in matchsticks // I used this mandolin

  • 1 1/2 cup carrots

    cut into matchsticks

  • 1/2 cup radish

    cut into matchsticks

  • 1 large sweet apple

    cut into matchsticks

  • 1/3 red onion

    thinly sliced

  • 1/3 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds

    raw and/or salted also works

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large lemon

    juiced

  • 1 – 2 Tbsp maple syrup

    or other sweetener of choice

  • 1 pinch each sea salt + black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive or avocado oil
  • Water

    to thin

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare all veggies and add to a bowl. I used this mandolin and it went so fast! Otherwise, a sharp knife and some patience, or a food processor with a grating attachment would work brilliantly.

  2. 2

    Whisk dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl and taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  3. 3

    Add dressing to veggies, along with sunflower seeds, and toss to coat. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving, preferably 2-3 hours or up to overnight.

  4. 4

    Store in the fridge covered for a few days, though best within the first 24-48 hours.

About this Recipe

Craving a vibrant, healthy side dish that truly celebrates the flavors of autumn? This Simple Fall Slaw is your answer, delivering a delightful blend of crisp textures and bright tastes in just 30 minutes.

What sets this slaw apart is its harmonious blend of earthy root vegetables and sweet-tart fruit, all unified by a creamy tahini-apple cider dressing. It's a refreshing take on a classic slaw, designed to feel both nourishing and satisfying with every bite.

Prepare for a truly engaging sensory experience with this slaw. You'll find a delightful medley of textures, from the satisfying crunch of finely chopped broccoli, matchstick carrots, and radish to the crisp, juicy bite of sweet apple. The robust, earthy notes of the beet are beautifully complemented by the subtle sweetness from the apple and maple syrup in the dressing, while a zesty lemon brightens the entire profile. The creamy tahini dressing coats each ingredient perfectly, making this a balanced and invigorating dish.

This recipe offers easy customization to suit your preferences. Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the dressing by varying the amount of maple syrup, or use another sweetener of choice. While roasted unsalted sunflower seeds are called for, raw or salted varieties also work wonderfully, or you could experiment with other toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts for a different flavor profile.

This versatile slaw is perfect for enhancing weeknight dinners, bringing a touch of freshness to holiday gatherings, or serving as a vibrant addition to any potluck spread.
