Savoy Cabbage, Apple and Walnut Slaw

A slaw in winter isn’t perhaps the first thing one might think of, and one might even eschew the idea in favour of warmer delights, but with the right ingredients a slaw can be a great winter accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Savoy cabbage is under-used in its raw form (often in its cooked form as well) but makes a perfect base for this seasonal dish. Walnuts and red apple, in addition to red onion and raisins give the slaw a distinct flavour that is appealing in the colder months, but still versatile enough to be eaten all year round.
