The Food Gays - Butternut Squash Slaw

Have you ever eaten butternut squash raw before? We first saw TV chef Damaris Phillips come up with the idea a few years back, and this is our rift on her version. Made with a light, citrusy vinaigrette, this refreshing slaw is the perfect balance of sweet and sour, with a whole lotta crunch!

Ingredients:

2 cups raw butternut squash, grated
1 cup carrot, grated
1 cup cabbage, grated
1 galla apple, grated (skin on)
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 cup sunflower seeds
 
1/8 cup pumpkin seeds
1 shallot, finely diced
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
5 tablespoons sunflower oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, carrot, cabbage, apple, raisins, sunflower and pumpkin seeds together. 

In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine shallot, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, mayo, sunflower oil, salt and pepper. Seal lid tightly, and shake vigerously until emulsified. 

Toss salad with dressing. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours before serving.
