Truth time. I LOVE the idea of ‘slaw’, but I don’t eat it very often. With the exception of when I order homemade versions from some cafes I’ve tried it at in Dublin – for example, at Wellfest this year, I had a delicious slaw from The Happy Pear stand! The main reason I don’t eat coleslaw often is that a lot of classic supermarket coleslaw products are really heavy on the mayo and additives/preservatives, and I could never get on board with the taste. So, I decided with the glorious sunny weather Ireland has been basking in recently, that it was high time I ticked a ‘Super Summer Slaw’ off my blog bucket list and made my own! It turned out absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to see what you guys think!

Recipe (Makes 1 large Salad or 5 Servings roughly) 

Ingredients

For The Dressing

• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 3 tsp flat leaf parsley
• 1 tbsp of honey
• 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 5 tbsp natural yogurt (I used Alpro Plain Yogurt)
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• Optional: A pinch of fine pink sea salt (I used the brand Monsoon Season)

Vegetables 

• 2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
• 1/2 white cabbage, washed and shredded
• 1/2 red cabbage, washed and shredded

Method

1. Add the veg to a large bowl, and mix it all up.
2. Combine the dressing ingredients in a smaller bowl, and make sure to give it a quick taste before you’re 100% happy with it – feel free to add a little more tahini, honey, vinegar or yogurt as required!
3. Pour the dressing on top of the veg, and using a large spoon, stir well until combined.
4. Sprinkle a little extra parsley on top, and serve!

Enjoy guys! I hope you like this recipe as much as me – try not to eat it all at once! Tag me if you try it out – @theirishbalance on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook!
