Cool Crunchy Coleslaw

Hot days are here and picnic food is the order for the season!

Here's a coleslaw recipe to start you out.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 medium head organic green cabbage
*make sure the outside leaves are tight to the cabbage
3 medium organic carrots
2/3 cup no cholesterol mayonnaise
3 Tbsn lemon juice
Salt & pepper

Cut cabbage in half and slice into thin ribbons, turn sideways and cut into thirds.



Cut carrots length-wise into long strips, turn sideways and cut into thirds.

Mix cabbage and carrots in large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

Just before serving add mayonnaise. Salt & pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.

Will keep in fridge for up to 5 days.

NOTE: Once mixed the dressing will cause the cabbage to 'shrink' and be less crunchy, so if you want to preserve the crunchiness only add dressing just before serving.
