  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint finely chopped
  • Edible flowers for garnish optional

  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Spelt Croutons:

Instructions

Prepare the Slaw:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, julienned apple, carrot, parsley, and mint.
  • Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

Make the Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble the Slaw:

  • Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss until everything is well coated.
  • Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare Spelt Croutons:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Toss the spelt bread cubes with melted ghee, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  • Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Serve:

  • Plate the slaw elegantly on individual plates or a serving platter.
  • Top with spelt croutons and garnish with edible flowers for a touch of color and sophistication.

Chef's Notes:

  • Ingredient Quality: Use the freshest produce and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best taste and presentation.
  • Texture Contrast: The crunch of fresh apples and spelt croutons contrasts beautifully with the softness of the red cabbage.
  • Edible Flowers: Consider flowers like nasturtiums or pansies for a burst of color and a subtle peppery or sweet flavor.
