During the long cold winter months and into early spring fresh, local salad greens can be hard to come by. The greens you do find will at premium prices, and rightly so, winter farming is tricky business. Coleslaw is an affordable way to get a raw salad on the table that your kids will love.
The veggies:
1/2 a medium sized red cabbage
1/2 a medium sized green cabbage
3 carrots shredded (optional)
Shred cabbage in a food processer with the blade that makes the thinnest slices. Shred carrots with grater if using them.
The sauce:
1/2 a cup of vinegar(apple cider or rice)
1/4 a cup of oil (canola or olive)
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dill
1 teaspoons thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix all of the above ingredients together in a small bowl then pour the sauce over the shredded cabbage. Mix the dressing around and pound the cabbage just a bit to let the juices out. Then let sit for 1 to 2 hours before serving, if you can get people to wait for that long!
