Cole SlawTogether with hummus and potato loaf, this is a dish we've been eating since we first became vegetarians. It is very different from regular cole slaw which I've found is often incredibly mayonnaise-y. I absolutely love this, and it is a powerhouse of healthy foods.
4 cups cabbage, put through the food processor
1 cup carrot, put through the food processor
Mix together:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey, warmed so a bit liquid
salt to taste
Add this to the vegetables.

ReplyDeleteMmm I like that versoin of cole slaw! I'm going to try it.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a happy Easter!
I LOVE cole slaw, and this recipe seems worth trying. Thanks so much

You scared me at first. When I read this post's title, I was afraid that you were going to put brownies and coleslaw together! I'm definitely trying the coleslaw recipe. It's much healthier than mine. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIsland Sparrow, hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteLisa, thanks and the same to you!
Diane, it is quite different from any cole slaw I've tasted.
Ann, thanks for coming by and taking the time to leave a note. I'll be over to visit you!
Debbie, it was fun to post them both together. :<) The cole slaw really is incredibly healthy, and delicious!
OOh those sound so good. Very summery. I don't like my coleslaw that finely chopped but the sauce sounds heavenly. And brownies...well...there are no words to describe how much I love brownies.
ReplyDeleteBTW I do not live on the beach but I do live on the seacoast. It is only a short 15 minute drive to the beach.
OH YIKES, the brownies would be a deadly temptation for me, but I can cut the guilt by eating a big serving of the cole slaw!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipes.
Love,

Nan! I feel like I hit the recipe jackpot today. Your cole slaw recipe sounds wonderful...you're right, most recipes, including my own which I made just yesterday, often turn out so "mayonaisy". This one looks really yummy. AND I followed your links for the hummus and potato loaf and can't wait to try them both! I have a pretty decent hummus recipe, but this looks even better. So.....thanks! And I love your tulip header. :) [Nancy/Soliloquy...Blogger has been having fits with Open ID today.]
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very unique cole slaw dish...I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI usually just grate my cabbage and carrots - half yogurt and mayo.
ReplyDeleteWill try adding the honey.
All your recipes = I like!! Will have to try the brownies - also.
Hip Chick, I didn't think so, but then I thought 'maybe those are her chairs!'
ReplyDeleteI have some other brownie recipes posted on sidebar. I keep trying different ones. There's never been a bad one. :<)
Sharon, they are nice and complementary aren't they? :<)
Thanks, Nancy. I hope you like all the recipes!
Staci, it certainly isn't like any I've ever had. Most of them are mayo with a little bit of cabbage. :<)
Thank you, Ernestine!
Yum and yum. I've got to try those brownies. We love cole slaw and lucky us, the deli at the corner makes it just like my grandma and it's about $2 so I never make it!
ReplyDeleteTara, they are pretty great, but then again I've not ever made a bad brownie recipe. That's a wonderful story about the deli. Isn't it so wonderful to find a childhood taste? I'm still looking for the crullers at my small town bakery when I was a kid. Not even in Paris were they as good.
ReplyDeleteYour brownies look good but I must say that your chocolate chip bars are my favorite. They are so quick to make. Ghiradelli chocolate chips were on sale this week and the first thing I thought of was those bars. They are coming up this weekend for the read-a-thon.
ReplyDeleteI like your take on coleslaw. I'll have to give it a try also.
umm looks like there will be brownies on our dessert menu tonight! My mouth is watering for them right now! And the slaw...my favorite salad of all time...
ReplyDeleteMargot, I'm so pleased you like them! I'll tell you something amazing. I actually love the cole slaw as much as the brownies. :<)
ReplyDeleteLinda, you can't go wrong with homemade brownies, ever!
This sounds like a great cole slaw -- time to get another head of cabbage! The brownies sound wonderful, too.
ReplyDeleteAren't you so great to come back and look at this! I'm always surprised at how much I love this cole slaw. And as for the brownies, there's hardly a one I don't love!
