Community Garden Best Ever Coleslaw

  Unfortunately this pic doesn’t do this salad justice.  I first made it back in 2018 when I joined my local community garden and everyone enjoyed it. I love the dressing and you can always double it as it’s truly delicious.  It’s a real crowd pleaser and you only need a few fresh ingredients.

½ medium head of purple cabbage
2 carrots
½ cup coriander
½ small red chilli (optional)
¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds

The Dressing

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ clove garlic, minced
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of salt
freshly cracked black pepper

• Using a mandolin finely shred the cabbage.
• Grate or make the carrots into matchsticks.
• Finely chop coriander.
• Add cabbage, carrots, coriander, chilli (if using) and sunflower seeds to a large mixing bowl.
• In a small jar add all the dressing ingredients, pop the lid on and give a really good shake until well combined.
• Add the dressing to the bowl of vegetables and combine together.
• Do a taste test and season with salt and pepper.
