How to Make a Winter Slaw
GATHER THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER
I find it that when I gather the ingredients that I will be using before I start any recipe, the process goes much faster. So measure out the ingredients for the citrus vinaigrette and wash your vegetables.
COMBINE THE VEGETABLES TOGETHER
Use a large bowl to mix the salad together. Start by adding the shredded carrots, red cabbage, green cabbage, and kale together.
Begin by shredding the cabbage and the carrots with a food processor, or if you do not have one, shred everything by hand using a coarse grater or slice into very thin slices using a sharp knife. Either way will work great, just like any slaw, you want to cut the veggies as thin as possible.
