A refreshing and crunchy slaw combining the sweetness of apples and cranberries with the nutty flavor of toasted seeds.
Soak the dried cranberries in freshly squeezed orange juice for about 10 minutes.
This step helps to plump up the cranberries and infuse them with a citrusy flavor.
Grate the carrots and dice the apples into small pieces.
Keep the apple pieces small and uniform for a consistent texture.
Combine the grated carrots, diced apples, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid bruising the apples.
Drain the cranberries, reserving the orange juice, and add them to the bowl.
Adding the cranberries last ensures they remain intact.
Whisk the reserved orange juice with olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss everything together until well coated.
Ensure the dressing is evenly distributed for the best flavor.
Sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds on top before serving.
Toast the seeds beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor.
Serve the slaw chilled or at room temperature.
This slaw pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a standalone dish.
