You cannot do that from with a simple schema configuration. Your only valid option is:

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  MyCollection._ensureIndex(
    {servingDate: 1, vanId: 1, timeSlot: 1},
    { unique: true }
  );
}

The code works fine and duplicate keys cause a validation error on save. How do you set the custom validation error message? – Saeed D. May 18 '17 at 07:15
