Creamy Coleslaw


Coleslaw has always been one of the great American picnic foods. This version’s creamy consistency—the result of a special balance between


its acids and oils—and its flavor of vinegar, tahini, and dates together enhanced by the mustard seeds, make it a slaw to remember.


SERVES 4 TO 6

DRESSING

½ teaspoon dried mustard seeds
3 tablespoons raw tahini
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sun-dried sea salt
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 seeded, soaked dates, drained

1 large head red cabbage, shredded
1 large head savoy cabbage, shredded
3 carrots, shredded

To prepare the dressing, using a mortar and pestle, crush the mustard seeds into a fine powder. Combine the mustard seed powder, tahini,
vinegar, salt, yeast, and dates in a blender and blend well.
In a large serving bowl, toss the red and savoy cabbages with the carrots. Drizzle the dressing over the top, toss well, and chill for 1 hour before
serving.
