Healthy Coastal Coleslaw

I’ll never forget the first time my sweet friend made this dish for my family. Well, actually I don’t remember all the details. I’m pretty sure I was knee deep in babies and barely awake but it made quite an impression and became a staple!

Sweet, citrus-y, crisp & salty.

Just last week we packed it for a beach day! It was so cool and satisfying.

Yes. My kids eat it and LOVE it.

The original recipe will always be a treasure for me because of who introduced me to it but I had to make some heal-thy adjustments. Same amazing flavor. More veggies. Less junk.

Ingredients for Coastal Coleslaw:

• 1 head of cabbage (thinly shredded)
• 4 stalks of celery (thinly sliced)
• 1 bunch of cilantro (chopped)
• 2 green onions (sliced)
• 1 c. almonds (chopped)
• 5 mandarin oranges (peeled and segmented)

Shred, slice, peel & chop. Set aside while you make the sauce.

Sauce:

• 3/4 c. Coconut Aminos

• 1/4 c. Red Wine Vinegar

• 1 TB Honey

• 1 TB Avocado or Olive Oil

• 1 tsp. TJ’s Green Goddess Seasoning

• 1 tsp. salt

• A pinch of Red Pepper Flakes

Simply stir together!

Finally, toss the coleslaw with sauce just before serving.

You really can’t mess this up. Throw it together for a potluck. Serve it as a side. Put it in a wrap. It’s definitely a must try!

Enjoy! Thanks for letting me share. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
