We’ve kept this slaw simple with only a few ingredients, but it can be jazzed up with a number of vegetables such as julienned bell peppers and snap peas, if you wish.
3 Tbsp (45 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) white miso paste
1 Tbsp (15 mL) peeled and very finely minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili paste
1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
6 cups (1.5 L) finely shredded Savoy cabbage
2 cups (500 mL) finely shredded red cabbage
2 cups (500 mL) peeled and grated carrots
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup (80 mL) golden seedless raisins
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup (80 mL) toasted unsalted peanuts
Whisk vinegar, miso, ginger, and chili paste together in large bowl until smooth. Vigorously whisk in olive oil until emulsified.
Add cabbages, carrots, green onions, and raisins, and gently toss to lightly coat. Sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts and serve.

This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
