Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Tips For Success

Tips: Make ahead: Prep everything in advance and store the dressing separately. Toss the cabbage and kale with the dressing about 30 minutes before serving. Top with the pecans and apple.

You can release excess water from the cabbage in this slaw by pre-salting before making the salad. Add the shredded cabbage to a colander, and toss with a teaspoon or two of Morton® Iodized Himalayan Pink Salt. Set the colander to drain over the sink, and give a light rinse at the end to remove excess salt, draining once more.
