Coleslaw with Toasted Walnuts and Tahini Vinaigrette

Print

By

You can easily create a coleslaw by adding simple ingredients such as carrots, green onions and walnuts, coated with a three parts oil, one part vinegar vinaigrette, like this nutty flavored tahini dressing. Besides giving the salad an interesting twist in flavor and preserving it longer, the fermentation process of pickling with a simple vinaigrette is very good for your digestive health because it creates good bacteria and vitamine B!

Further Food Commentary:

Green cabbage is often passed over for other leafy greens, but is a great alternative that offers antioxidant phytochemicals, vitamin K, B vitamins, and fiber. Carrots provide crunch, and are a rich source of beta-carotene. The sesame seed tahini is a creamy, nutrient-dense addition to homemade dressings, providing calcium and anti-inflammatory copper. Furthermore, its healthy unsaturated fats -- in conjunction with those from the walnuts -- helps your body absorb the vitamins from the fresh veg.
