red cabbage coleslaw I’m a huge fan of coleslaw. However, most coleslaw dressings are made with ingredients that do not look good naked such as sugar, soybean oil, emulsifiers, and added flavour. I prefer to make my own because that way I know what’s going into it. I love this particular coleslaw recipe because it is so colourful! I came up with it while I was at the cottage one weekend staring at a red cabbage and wondering what to do with it. This is what was born! Enjoy! 

 

 

Red Cabbage Coleslaw Recipe

Salad Ingredients:

1/2 red cabbage, very thinly sliced
1 carrot, grated
2 green onions, finely sliced,
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup sunflower seeds

Dressing Ingredients:

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tbsp tahini
Celtic sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a frying pan on the stove on medium heat lightly toast the sunflower seeds.
  2. In a bowl  add all the salad ingredients.
  3. In a jar shake together dressing ingredients to combine. Add dressing to salad and stir.
  4. I suggest you let it sit for 15 minutes before eating so cabbage starts to take on the flavour of the dressing and soften up a bit.
