Collard Greens Slaw with Apple Cider Vinegar Vinaigrette, a delicious tangle of fresh, raw vegetables.

A great healthy, no cook meal. This collard green salad is a great meatless, no cook meal as well as a great side dish.  It travels well so it’s great for picnics. I love to serve it alongside fried chicken… I believe it soaks up all the fat and the guilt but I can’t guarantee that.

If you want a recipe for traditional cooked collard greens I have one HERE. That recipe is delicious bu ti contains meat. For a cooked MEATLESS collard greens recipe try this Tomato Braised Collards recipe

Collard greens, Napa cabbage, red bell peppers, snow peas and scallions ready to julienne for salad

Raw Collard Green Slaw, serves 8-10 people

1 bunch collard greens, thoroughly washed

1 head Napa cabbage

12 ounces snow peas

1 red bell pepper

6 scallions

Apple Cider Vinegar Vinaigrette

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1-2 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)

¾ – 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Finely slice all the vegetables into thin ribbons and set aside in a large bowl.

In another bowl add apple cider vinegar, pepper, salt, honey and ginger (if you’re using ginger). Mix thoroughly with a whisk to dissolve the spices. While whisking, drizzle in olive oil.  This can also be done in a blender.

Toss with the vinaigrette. Let marinate refrigerated for 6 hours for best results.  Stir occasionally to coat the salad with the vinaigrette.  You can eat it right away it you like but if you let it sit for a few hours the collards will wilt a bit and be a little more tender.

Collard Greens Slaw is a fantastic recipe for a picnic, potluck or non-traditional New Year’s celebration.
