Creamy Coleslaw (dairy free)

     Being dairy free doesn't mean living without a creamy dressing. Dairy free alternatives have opened up a new world of options for culinary adventures in my kitchen. If you have a nut allergy or are against using almond flour then just substitute it with Veganaise in this recipe.

Dressing Ingredients:

½ cup almond flour 

2 T. Veganaise

¼ cup almond milk (or other nondairy milk)

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

2 T. apple cider vinegar

1 T. agave syrup

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. black pepper.

Directions:

Place all the ingredients in a small blender. Blend to combine.

Creamy Coleslaw Dressing

My basic coleslaw vegetable mix:

3 cups cabbage, shredded (green or a mix of green & red)

1 carrot, shredded

1 celery stalk, thin sliced

1 bell pepper, small diced

1 apple, small diced

In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw vegetables and the dressing. I like to also stir in about 1 tsp. cumin seed and about 2 T. raisins. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least several hours. Just before serving I will sprinkle sunflower seeds or flaxseed meal on top.
