Suzi’s Vegetable Slaw

Here’s a great little recipe from our own Co-op Member, Susan O’Brien.

I am a cole slaw lover. It reminds me of when I was a youngster and my dad made us homemade cole slaw. I have changed the recipe many times over the years, but what remains the same are the memories of eating it in the home where I grew up. There’s no place like home, as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz would say!  Enjoy.  –Susan–

 

Slaw

• 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 cups Napa cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 cup carrot, grated
• 2 tbs red onion, grated, optional
• 1 apple, grated, approximately 1 cup
• ¾ cup brussel sprouts, grated, outer leaves removed and cleaned

Dressing

• 1/3 cup coconut milk (canned)
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 tbs rice vinegar
• 1 tbs maple syrup
• 1-2 tbs lime juice, optional

In a large bowl, toss the vegetables and apple to combine. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the dressing and pour over the slaw. Toss again and serve. Serves 4
