MARDI GRAS SALAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss together the sweet potatoes and beets on the baking sheet. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil over top, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer and roast until the potatoes are cooked through and the beets are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the mustard, Creole seasoning, onion powder and sugar in a large salad bowl. Whisk in the vinegar, then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon oil in a slow stream. Continue whisking until the dressing is emulsified.
- Add the green and red cabbage and green onions to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Add the roasted potatoes and beets and toss gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- To make a classic Mardi Gras coleslaw, start by shredding a head of green cabbage and a head of red cabbage.
- Next, add diced celery, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions to the cabbage.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat.
- Finally, serve the coleslaw chilled, garnished with fresh parsley or paprika.
- For a Cajun twist, add a tablespoon of Creole mustard or cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- To make a healthier version of Mardi Gras coleslaw, use Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise.
- To add more crunch to the coleslaw, add some chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
