For the Dressing

100ml soured cream
100ml natural yogurt
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Kale

Shred the kale leaves and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle with white-wine vinegar and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Massage the leaves gently for a couple of minutes to tenderize them.

2. Crisp the Cabbage

Immerse shredded red and white cabbage in a bowl of iced water.
Let sit for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry to enhance crispiness.

3. Combine Vegetables

Add julienned carrots, sliced onion, and chopped herbs to the kale.
Mix well to evenly distribute flavors.

4. Make the Dressing

In a bowl, whisk together soured cream, yogurt, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Assemble the Slaw

Pour the creamy dressing over the kale mixture and toss gently until well coated.

6. Add the Hazelnuts

Mix in three-quarters of the toasted hazelnuts for texture enhancement.
Transfer the slaw to a serving bowl and scatter the remaining hazelnuts on top before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor and texture, try adding thinly sliced apples or dried cranberries. They bring a sweet contrast to the tangy yogurt dressing and crunchy hazelnuts. This slaw also pairs perfectly with grilled chicken or roasted salmon for a wholesome meal!
