Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
2 cups green cabbage, shredded, preferably Savoy
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 heaping cup carrots, grated
2 scallions, roughly chopped
½ red pepper, roughly chopped
½ green pepper, roughly chopped
Black Pepper, to taste
Dressing:
1 whole orange, make ¼ cup juice
Zest from 1 orange, yield 1 tbl
¼ cup Apple cider vinegar
¾ tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp Date paste
Directions:
• In a big bowl, mix the shredded green and red cabbage plus the shredded carrots.
Look for a nice balance of color throughout.
• In a food processor place the scallions and peppers. Pulse just a few times, you want
mixture to be a rough puree, but you don’t want it soupy. Add this mixture to the slaw.
• Make dressing, by zesting a full orange, to yield 1 tbl grated zest. Then squeeze half the
orange, to yield ¼ cup juice. Pour the juice and zest into a bowl. Add vinegar, mustard,
date paste.
• Pour dressing over the slaw and mix thoroughly. You can serve immediately. Or refrigerate for
several hours as slaw marinates and absorbs flavors.
