One of the fun things about having a vegetable garden is growing plants you might not have tried, and many years ago I experimented with a type of heirloom kale called Red Russian Kale. That variety of kale is recommended for eating raw, and it was the inspiration for this Kale and Red Cabbage Slaw.

And recently I made this again to improve the photos and see if I can entice fellow kale lovers to try it! I did like the flavor of the raw kale, and going partly on instinct, I combined it with red cabbage, green onions, and a slightly chile-flavored dressing to make a colorful coleslaw I thought was just delicious. For the new photos I just used organic kale from the grocery store for the kale, and you could also make it with baby kale if you want to skip the step of slicing up the kale!

What is Red Russian Kale?

Red Russian Kale is a variety of kale with purplish-gray leaves. When I grew this type of kale it was even thriving in the Utah heat, but apparently it’s very hardy in the cold as well. The leaves are shaped like oak leaves, and the stems are smaller than other kale varieties. And this is a very attractive plant, as well as being tasty, and this type of kale is sometimes grown in flower beds. From a blogger in Denmark, I learned this plant is also called Ragged Jack. And of course, the Red Russian Kale can also be cooked like other types of greens.

How to Make Kale and Red Cabbage Slaw:

(Scroll down for complete recipe with nutritional information.)

  1. If you have large kale leaves like I did, start by chopping off the thick stems.
  2. Then fold each kale leaf over and cut out most of the thick rib.
  3. Pile the kale leaves up and cut into thin slices, then chop.
  4. I gave the kale a good wash in the salad spinner (affiliate link).
  5. I use the Mandoline Slicer (affiliate link) to slice the red cabbage; just slice with a knife if you don’t have a mandoline.
  6. Slice the green onion.
  7. Whisk together mayo, white wine vinegar, Monkfruit Sweetener or sweetener of your choice, Celery Seed, ground Ancho chile or other chile powder, and a bit of salt to make the dressing. 
  8. Combine kale, cabbage, and green onion in a large plastic bowl.
  9. Then stir in desired amount of dressing, until all the kale and cabbage leaves are slightly coated. 
  10. This will keep in the fridge for a day or two, although the red cabbage gives a slightly purplish tint to the dressing. That didn’t stop me from gobbling it up though!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sliced Kale strips (see notes)

  • 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 3 T white wine vinegar

  • 1 tsp. celery seed
  • 1/4 tsp. Ancho Chile powder (or can use regular chile powder)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. For baby kale or small Red Russian Kale leave, just cut off the thin stems from the young leaves, then wash the kale and dry very well.
  2. If you have large kale leaves, start by chopping off the thick stems.
  3. Then fold each kale leaf over and cut out most of the thick rib.
  4. Pile the kale leaves up and cut into thin slices, then chop up enough to make 4 cups of chopped kale.
  5. I gave the kale a good wash in the salad spinner (affiliate link), but baby kale in a package won't need to be washing.
  6. I use the Mandoline Slicer (affiliate link) to make 4 cups sliced red cabbage; just slice with a knife if you don't have a mandoline.
  7. Slice about 1/2 cup green onion.
  8. Whisk together mayo, white wine vinegar, Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) or sweetener of your choice, Celery Seed (affiliate link), ground Ancho chile (affiliate link) or other chile powder, and a bit of salt to make the tasty dressing.
  9. Combine the kale, cabbage, and green onion in a large plastic bowl.
  10. Then stir in desired amount of dressing, until all the kale and cabbage leaves are slightly coated with dressing. (You may not need all the dressing but it's good on many other vegetable salads!
  11. This will keep in the fridge for a day or two, although the red cabbage gives a slightly purplish tint to the dressing. That didn't stop me from gobbling it up though.

Notes

Four cups of kale is about 1 lb. kale leaves, sliced. Four cups of red cabbage is about 1/2 large head cabbage. I used Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) but use any sweetener you prefer.
