Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Butternut squash
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Whole grain mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the butternut squash and cut it into manageable pieces. Use a food processor with a grating attachment or a box grater to finely shred 2 cups of squash.
Shred the green cabbage and carrot using the same method or a sharp knife for consistent texture.
Thinly slice the red onion into slivers and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded butternut squash, cabbage, carrot, red onion, and parsley. Toss well to combine.
In a small bowl, prepare the honey goat cheese dressing. Mash the goat cheese with a fork, then whisk in the honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, whole grain mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
