I have a TON (I mean a ton!) of cabbage from our CSA and we have 2 potluck bbqs to attend this weekend so what better use than good old coleslaw! This lighter, healthier, mayo-free version travels well and you don't have to worry about keeping it cold like you do with it's more traditional mayo-counterpart. Here it is. . .
No-Mayo Slaw
Salad Ingredients:
-head of napa cabbage, chopped
-3 carrots, chopped
-1 cucumber, chopped
-bunch of scallions, chopped
-1 c. toasted walnuts, crushed/chopped
Dressing Ingredients:
-4 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
-1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
-1/4 c. honey
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-2 tsp. sesame seeds (or poppy seeds)
-1/2 c.extra virgin olive oil
-Salt & pepper to taste
Mix salad ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad and toss to cover completely.
This salad is best when it's had a chance to marinate. I suggest making it ahead of time (1/2 or whole day) and letting it sit in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
