    This winter slaw, is packed with crisp crunchy veg and makes the perfect holiday salad. The sweet maple dressing and creamy pecans make it extra special and a delicious and fresh side for the festive season.

    The two colours of cabbage add a bulk of colour , whilst the sweet carrot and red bell pepper add an extra pop of colour. Topped with a bright sprinkle of parsley this winter slaw is stunning to look at, and just as stunning to eat.

    The colours are bright, the flavours pack a punch and on a buffet table a big bowl of winter slaw is such a delicious, fresh and crunchy side, perfect with a glazed ham or left over turkey.

    Go on, add this winter slaw to your holiday salad list. I promise it will be a hit!

    I have called this a winter slaw as I think it works so well at Christmas..... but here in Australia we are heading into summer. So I guess perhaps I should just have called it slaw? 😉

    But never one to hold with convention I am calling it a winter slaw and serving it for our summer Christmas eve buffet. To be honest whenever this winter slaw is served it is always demolished!

    I think the real winning element is the maple dressing that replaces the more standard mayonnaise based dressing. The light dressing allows the colours of the slaw to shine through and the sweetness of the maple is perfect against the bite of the cabbage and the creamy nuttiness of the pecans.

    Sometimes I add a handful of pomegranate seeds, to make it even more festive and add a delicious sweet sour note to the slaw. But when I made this yesterday I was packing for a weeks holiday with my Mother-in-Law and didn't have any pomegranates in the house. Whilst I noticed they weren't there I didn't miss them, so if pomegranates aren't in season then do not worry. Miss them out and don't tell anyone. They won't notice 😉

      I seem to forget about slaws when the weather turns, so I'm loving your gorgeous winter version!

        I know exactly what you mean!! And I used to be the same.
        But I think because I am now living down under, salads always seem to be in my menu plan. During the summer here, I crave them as there is no reason to put the oven on, and then in the midst of our winters my pinterest feed fills up with summer salads from my favourite northern hemisphere bloggers. So I get pulled into making them mid winter too.
        I love slaw and salad so win win for me 😀
