Of all the recipes I’ve delivered here at Curious Cooking, there are few delights as enchanting as the Nordic Troll Slaw—a dish that marries the rustic flavors of Scandinavia with the timeless appeal of classic cole slaw. Much like the mysterious trolls of Norwegian folklore, this dish captivates the imagination with its earthy textures and vibrant flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, grated
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage, grated carrots, sliced red onion, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Toss gently to combine, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth and well-incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors to your preference.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, using a spatula or spoon to coat the ingredients evenly. Be sure to toss gently to avoid crushing the delicate textures of the slaw.
- Once the slaw is thoroughly coated in the dressing, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.
- Before serving, give the Nordic Troll Slaw a final toss to ensure that the dressing is evenly distributed throughout. Garnish with additional cranberries and walnuts for a touch of visual appeal.
