Spicy Winter Orange Slaw Salad

Crisp veggies, sweet citrus and a little spice from the mustard seeds make this an easy side for most anything.

Ingredients

4–5 cups cabbage, roughly chopped*
2–3 stalks celery, shredded
½ long English cucumber, unpeeled, cut in chunks and lightly smashed
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
3–4 clementines or mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
3 cups roughly chopped iceberg lettuce

Dressing

¼ cup mayonnaise (we prefer Duke’s)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sweet pickle juice or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1½ teaspoons white pepper

Directions

  1. Combine dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake to mix.

  2. Mix cabbage through cilantro in a large bowl. Pour in dressing and toss to moisten. Gently stir in orange segments.

  3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir in lettuce at serving time to keep it crisp. Scatter with toasted sesame seeds.
