Coleslaw
 
Ingredients
Cole Slaw:
  • 8 green onions, chopped
  • 1 head purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
Dressing:
  • ½ cup raw cashews, soaked for 6-8 hours in water, then drained
  • 2 tbsp chopped shallots
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Make the dressing first. Drain the soaked cashews and then put all the dressing ingredients in your food processor. Blend for at least five minutes, stopping every so often to scrape down the sides. This is really important- it keeps the dressing from being gritty. Pour the dressing into a small bowl and chill while you chop the cabbage- it will thicken slightly.
  2. Chop the cabbages and green onions and throw them in a large bowl with the almonds and cranberries. Toss with the dressing, mix well, and then let sit in the fridge for about an hour before serving so the cabbage has a chance to wilt and absorb the dressing.
