Carrot Cabbage Slaw with Cumin Vinaigrette
PUBLISHED ON: 10.06.2009
I am not sure where my autumn breeze went! The Fall season was teasing me. No matter, it is Fall and this is a perfect Fall salad recipe. This is a wonderful crisp cabbage, carrot slaw scented with cumin. A low fat, low calorie and high-fiber dish.

2-1/4 lb. carrots

Equipment:
An adjustable blade slicer fitted with 1/8 inch julienne attachment
Directions:
1. Pick enough fronds from the carrot tops to measure 1 cup, then coarsely chop.
2. Cut carrots crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then julienne with a slicer.
3. Whisk together vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
4. Toss cabbage, carrots, chopped carrot tops in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

A delightful slaw! That vinaigrette must taste wonderful!Unfortunately, the last Gourmet Magazine will be released in November…. Apparently, the entire staff of 180 was let go and they had to be cleared out by the end of the week!Cheers,Rosa

I love carrot slaw and the cumin vaaigrette just turns it into fall. (Our autumn is freezing and rainy). I am also mourning Gourmet.

What an interesting idea to use cumin in the vinaigrette. We have a bunch of cabbage in the refrigerator we were looking for something different to do with.

Yum yum I love slaws. Cumin with cabbage is a new one to me, but it sounds good. Will add this to my stash. I like that this has no mayo, very important as we have an allergic-to-everything kid, and this would be a winner for her.

Yay! A healthy Fall recipe. So easy to stick to the comfort foods when the weather starts to get cooler. Now I have another alternative for something yummy and nutritious.

The color is this is just amazing! This is a slaw I would definitely love. I hope your fall comes back!
zerrin
I'm surprised with the addition of cumin in this dish. It is one of my favorite spices, and I use it in several dishes, but never tried it with these vegetables. Must try it. and thank you for such a healthy dish. As the season of cabbage and caroot is approaching here, this will be on my top list to try soon.

It's perfect for fall, and a perfect homage to the now lost Gourmet. Looks yummy!
