Preparation

  1. For the Slaw

    1. Step 1

      Make slaw: Remove tough outer leaves of cabbage halves and core halves. Using a food processor, a mandoline or a knife, shred cabbage as finely as possible.

    2. Step 2

      Peel watermelon radish and cut into matchsticks, then cut matchsticks in half. Alternatively, trim radishes and roughly chop. Stem chilies and deseed them, then chop in pieces smaller than a dime. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Set aside.

    3. Step 3

      Make vinaigrette: In small bowl, whisk together all ingredients except oil. Let cilantro steep in mixture for a few minutes, then whisk in the oil in a steady stream to emulsify.

    4. Step 4

      Taste and add more lime juice, salt or pepper if needed. Pour over slaw and blend well. Serve.

I wish there was either a volume or a weight of cabbage. I grow my own, and they vary wildly. I ended up with about 12 cups of cabbage, so I should have doubled the dressing. Also, according to the internet, a bunch of radishes is between 8 and 12 oz.... again I grow 5 different kinds of radishes of all sizes, and mine do not come in bunches.

Delicious, crunchy, bright salad. Served as a side dish for NYT’s fajitas recipe for Father’s Day. I was concerned about the poblano since I typically see that pepper blistered/peeled, but I trusted the recipe and the raw slivers were perfect. Last minute adjustment- added about 1 Tbs of unseasoned rice wine to boost the acidity.

Excellent variety on slaw salad. Radishes add a great kick and color. I added radish to taste increasing the recipe recommendations.

Great as a salad bowl base! I grated a jalapeño in as well. I topped it with avocado, a bit of bacon, and an egg. Perfect for a refreshing and not too heavy lunch.

This was tasty. Used my garden radishes. I added 1/4 of a thinly sliced onion and some ground cumin to the dressing. Used it for a taco slaw and will definitely make this again!
