Creamy Cabbage Salad

Cabbage is one of my fav vegetables because it is cheap, delicious and super good for you! It’s also hella low in calories (not that I believe in counting calories or anything like that), but since it is so low cal you can pair it with a nice creamy dressing and not feel guilty.  I haven’t had coleslaw in years because it’s the creepiest salad ever, usually it has so much mayonnaise on it that it sort of slips and slides around your plate (not appealing), but this salad is like coleslaw after a makeover.

Creamy Cabbage Salad

  • 1/2 cabbage (I used green but red would probs be awesome also)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 dijon mustard
  • 1 TB miso paste
  • 2 TB cashews
  • sprouts (for garnish)
  1. Wash and chop your cabbage into ribbon like slices
  2. Mix the mustard, tahini and miso together.  Add to the cabbage and mix well.
  3. Garnish with cashews and sprouts

In this recipe the tahini creates the creamy texture and flavour usually achieved with mayonnaise but minus the unholy slimyness (I’m aware that is not a proper word).
