One of the best winter salads in Greece is a kind of slaw, called Politiki Salata, made with cabbage, carrots, and dill. I re-invent it a bit here, using broccoli stems, too, as a way to use up something that we typically discard but that is both delicious and nutritious.

• Although you can find pre-shredded broccoli stalks, carrots and cabbage in almost every American supermarket, it is much more preferable to grate them yourself. Just cut the stalks off the broccoli, for example, and then cut into thick long strips. Coarsely grate in the food processor using the grating attachment. Do the same for the carrots and cabbage.
