Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, choose carrots that are fresh, crisp, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife: When slicing the carrots, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get clean, even slices. This will help the slaw to look its best and taste its best.
  • Add some sweetness: The sweetness of the apples and cranberries helps to balance out the tartness of the dressing. If you are using a tart variety of apple, you may want to add a little bit of extra sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • Toast the pumpkin seeds: Toasting the pumpkin seeds adds a nice nutty flavor and texture to the slaw. You can toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Make it ahead: This slaw can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for meal prep or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Carrot apple slaw with cranberries and pumpkin seeds is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this carrot apple slaw a try.
