A vibrant and flavorful kale slaw with a zesty dressing and crunchy walnuts.
Prepare the kale by washing and chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
Massaging the kale with a little salt can make it more tender and flavorful.
Shred the carrots and add them to the bowl with the kale.
Use a box grater or a food processor for quick shredding.
Add the chopped walnuts to the bowl.
Toast the walnuts beforehand for an enhanced nutty flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, and all the spices until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the kale mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Ensure all the vegetables are well coated for the best flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the slaw chilled as a side dish or a light meal.
Garnish with additional chopped walnuts or a sprinkle of paprika for presentation.
