Ingredients

4 ounces fresh creamy goat cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium butternut squash
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
Special equipment: mandoline

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine goat cheese, honey, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Stir well with a whisk until fully combined and creamy.

Remove the top narrow portion of the butternut squash and peel. Discard or use the bulb portion for something else. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut the peeled cylinder into fine long matchsticks (julienne). This should yield about 4 cups. Fold into the cheese dressing along with dried cranberries, walnuts and chopped fresh parsley.

The Hit of the Party!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Thank you Tyler! This recipe was the perfect, light appetizer before Thanksgiving dinner. It never occurred to me to eat... squash raw! I used the disc of a food processor that grates pieces small, but not the smallest. After mixing the ingredients together, I separated and filled the smallest center stalks of a Chinese cabbage, so the colelsaw could become finger food. Everyone loved it, even those who claim not to like squash. It's great to have a use for squash that doesn't involve syrup! Read more

Crazy Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is definitely different. I didn't try it on or with sloppy joe's but it was so good. I made if for my husband and didn't... say a word. I wanted to see what he would say. He could not figure out what it was. He was shocked. It's not a harsh squash taste at all. Its weird but it's refreshing and light. Not heavy at all. If you can be open minded to a different coleslaw DO IT! It's worth it. Read more

Loved it!

This recipe is amazing. It's a nice change from traditional coleslaw. The goat cheese and honey go great together. Only... downside is that it took me FOR-E-VER to cut up the squash.Read more

HIt or miss? Not sure.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love all the ingredients, even the raw squash, but for some reason it didn't come together for me. I LOVE goat cheese, but... I think that was the wrong cheese for this dish. I ate it the first night with the sloppy joes (which were great) but then the second night I wanted to throw up. It was just weird. Read more

My new favorite slaw!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Before trying this recipe, the only squash I would eat is zucchini. This was wonderful! At first I found it a bit... challenging to julienne the squash, but I eventually got the hang of it, and WOW! I always get salad duty for the Thanksgiving get together. This one will definitely be included this year. It not only tastes great, it has great texture and is visually appealing!Read more

Awesomely Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My gf and I just made everything from the entire episode...everything was average aka not bad but not something we would make... again -- however this was the star, the flavors were just terrific and would highly recommend this coleslaw, do not skip this no matter what you do! You do need to have very good knives or a very good mandolin to make this recipe, or both -- the effort is well worth itRead more
