In this incarnation of slaw, the mild flavour of celery root pairs nicely with tart green apples and an umami-laced miso dressing. If you’d like an extra pop of sweetness, try tossing in some dried cherries or raisins. While this slaw is best served soon after preparing, it can be made up to two days in advance and chilled.
The shredding blade of a food processor can make quick work of breaking down vegetables for homemade slaws.
Per serving:
In large bowl, toss together celery root, carrot, apple, and parsley.
In small bowl, whisk together oil, miso, vinegar, honey, thyme, shallot, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes. Add dressing to slaw and with clean hands gently massage dressing into slaw. Serve garnished with walnuts.

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.
