Spring Slaw Recipes

SPRING COLESLAW WITH FRESH HERBS AND LIGHT HONEY CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Slaw
• Combine the cabbage, arugula, pea shoots, and carrots in a large bowl and toss gently to mix.
• Vinaigrette
• Combine the olive oil, herbs, lime zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, shallot, vinegar, and honey in a bowl and whisk to mix.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss gently to mix. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve. (If making ahead of time, wait to add the pea shoots until just before serving.)
• On the Side
• The bright mixture of honey and citrus in the vinaigrette makes this slaw the perfect accompaniment for mild fish, like Grilled Grouper with Heirloom Tomato Salsa (page 102) or Chicken Under a Skillet (page 139).

KALE SLAW SPRING SALAD

Steps:

• Combine kale and romaine. Add coleslaw mix, fennel, broccoli and red cabbage; sprinkle with feta cheese and sesame seeds. Toss to combine., Stir together olive oil and sesame oil. Whisk in honey, vinegar and lemon juice. Add pureed strawberries. Whisk until combined. Dress salad just before serving; top with sliced strawberries.

SPICED LAMB BURGERS WITH SPRING SLAW

Steps:

• Make the yogurt sauce:
• Whisk yogurt, oil, lemon zest, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl until combined.
• Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
• Make and assemble the burgers:
• Mix paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. black pepper in a small bowl.
• Shape lamb into 4 patties about 3/4" thick. Season with spice mixture on both sides.
• Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook patties until underside is browned, 5-6 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on other side, 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss asparagus, snap peas, onion, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
• Generously spread yogurt sauce on cut sides of buns. Build each burger with a lamb patty and a mound of slaw. You will probably have extra slaw left over-serve it alongside.
