Raw Winter Squash Slaw



    
Raw Winter Squash Slaw
1-2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts
2 large beets, golden or chiogga  cone #2
1 pound butternut squash or pumpkin,
 peeled cone # 1 & 2
1/4 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼  green cabbage cone #4
Dressing:
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
Optional: dried cranberries or currants

Directions
In a dry skillet toast the pecans over low heat for 3-4 minutes, until they are fragrant but not burned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Chop beets with cone #2 . Cut the squash with cone #2 and cone #1 , and shred the squash. Add the squash to the beets and cabbage, along with the parsley and toasted pecans.
In a small measuring cup, whisk together the oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste.
Just before you're ready to serve, pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables, and toss gently.
Serve immediately, before the colors have a chance to run.
