Are you ready for summer? As you know, I love food, and when I find a great recipe, I like to share it. Summer is right around the corner, so what better recipe is there than a Summer Coleslaw. I found it in last year’s July/August issue of Health magazine and have made it twice now. It’s been fantastic both times. However, I have slightly modified this one, too, and it still tastes amazing!
Ingredients
- 1/2 small head cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 C snow peas, thinly sliced
- 1 C radishes, thinly sliced
- 6 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 TBSP chopped parsley
- 2 TBSP chopped, toasted hazelnuts
- 1 TBSP poppy seeds
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 3 TBSP hazelnut or extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl combine everything up through and including the poppy seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Toss with slaw.
This recipe makes 4 servings, and each serving is only 185 calories, but is totally filling. Rather than slice/shred the cabbage and carrots, I just bought the coleslaw already in the bag. Using fresh parsley knocks up the flavor as well. And, as you can see, I tossed in some cherry tomatoes and some shredded chicken (which will up the calories but figured the protein was a good added touch). I have to say, I was really surprised at how awesome this salad tasted!
Make it for the summer, or bring it back to any season! Enjoy!
