Red Coleslaw

Red Coleslaw

It's Summer and that means its Barbecue Season! This is one of my favourite salads to take to barbecues and parties - it's colourful, it tastes great and it stays crunchy all day.

And it's super-healthy! This recipe brings together the anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting benefits of cruciferous veggies (like cabbage), with the antioxidant benefits from the flavonoids in purple-pigmented foods!

But most importantly, it's absolutely DELICIOUS! It's sweet and crisp and crunchy - and the Cashew Mayo we use for the dressing is out of this world. In fact, I dare you not to eat it by the spoonful! Click here for the recipe, or see below.

NOTE: Whilst this salad is delicious with the Cashew Mayo, for a lighter salad it can be simply dressed with a mix of olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
