Moroccan Cabbage and Carrot Slaw


A new twist on the old slaw…
Here is another slaw recipe- with a spicy twist

Moroccan Cabbage and Carrot Slaw

Dressing:
½ C Mayo
2 tbs Fresh Lemon Juice (Basically the juice of one lemon)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tsp granular sugar substitute
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper

1 head of green cabbage, shredded (4-5 C)
3 medium carrots, shredded

I got the bagged stuff at the store and also used red cabbage.  I also used all the greens of the scallions by slicing them julienne style and adding to the slaw.

This would make a surprising new dish for a pitch in!

Bi-coastal Salsa Chop up these ingredients and put in a big bowl: 3 cloves garlic 3 green onions 1 small or ½ large red onion 1 small or 1 large Vidalia or sweet onion (1/2 jalepeno) 3-5 Tomatoes 1 green bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 1 orange bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper (purple bell peppers are nice too, if available) ½ bunch chopped cilantro Mix together: 1-2 tbs red wine vinegar ¼ C lime juice (juice of 1 large  lime or two small ones) Grated lime peel Pepper ¼ tbs ground cumin 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp olive oil (or other salad oil of your choice) I adapted this recipe from two different salsa recipes.   One was from an LA Weigh Loss cook book, and another was from the South Beach cookbook… so, I named this “Bi-Coastal Salsa”! There is no cooking involved here, but the cutting can be tedious if it’s not your favorite thing to do. I like the peppers and onions to be chopped quite fine.   Putting them through a processor is an option, but

Summer Spinach Salad Dressing

Summer Spinach Salad Dressing 2/3 cup sugar or Splenda 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 small onion, finely chopped (in the food processor) 4 teaspoons prepared mustard (I use Dijon or deli mustard) 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper This was originally recorded in my recipe journal on July 10, 2004 and came from a Taste of Home magazine.   My mom used to work in a FACS department and would get all the old Taste of Home Magazines.   I would sit and peruse them for hours trying to find things that looked good to try to make! Since it is such a sweet dressing, it pairs nicely with spinach, fruit and nuts.
