Ingredients
  

  • For the Slaw
  • 3 cups (450 g / 15.9 oz) grated butternut squash
  • 3 cups (300 g / 10.6 oz) finely shredded cabbage
  • 1 large carrot / 120g (4.2 oz), grated
  • 1 medium green bell pepper / 150g (5.3 oz), finely julienned
  • 1 cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) raisins
  • For the Creamy Dressing
  • 1 cup (240 g / 8.5 oz) Mayonnaise (use a vegan brand if preferred)
  • ⅔ cup (160 g / 5.6 oz) plain yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 tsp (8 g / 0.28 oz) sugar (or maple syrup)
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) raspberry or red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For a different texture, use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons of butternut squash instead of grating.
  • For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, toast a handful of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds and sprinkle them on top just before serving.
  • If making ahead, keep the dressing and the vegetable mixture separate until an hour before you plan to serve to maintain maximum crunch.

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated butternut squash, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, julienned green pepper, and raisins.
  2. Toss gently to distribute everything evenly.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain yogurt, sugar, vinegar, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly until everything is well-coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
