MENDOCINO SLAW
This isn't a typical cole slaw recipe slathered in mayonnaise. It's not just delicious... but it's a colorful and beautiful addition to your table. The quantities are approximate and really vary depending upon the size of each item of produce. Have fun with this recipe and experiment with the dressing. This is one of those "a little bit of this and a little dab of that" recipes... Be sure to pair this with the Ahi Tuna Wonton Crisps.
Ingredients:
2 Carrots: Cut into match stick shape about 1.25" long.
1/3 Cup Snow Peas: Cut off ends and julienne them close to the size of the carrots.
1 Small Red Bell Pepper: Cut into match stick shape about 1.25" long.
1/2 Small Jicama: Cut into match stick shape about 1.25" long.
1/2 Head Napa Cabbage (if large): Cut with a knife in strips
1/4 Red Cabbage : Cut into Strips
1/2 cup Cilantro: chopped
Add all ingredients together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl prepare dressing using the following ingredients (quantities are approximate and subject to your own taste):
1/2 cup of mayonaise
1 1/2 tablespoon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
season with salt (to taste)
Add a small amount of blended dressing to mixed slaw. Do not overdress it! This slaw is best if left reasonably dry.
At the end with add some chopped cilantro.
This is an awesome salad, Thank You! I doubled the dressing and wish I hadn't, it wilted the napa cabbage. Next time I'll stick to recipe exact!
Hi Cariann, I'm glad you liked this. It's actually my mother's recipe and she's perfected it. So simple but fresh... thank you for your feedback. Laura
