    Recipe: Vegan Cole Slaw

    vegan cole slawshredded cole slawMunch on some crunchy cabbage with my sweet and zesty Vegan Cole Slaw recipe. I love cole slaw and this refreshingly light, yet creamy, recipe really hits the spot. Plus, add some honey-toasted pistachios for extra crunch – and nutrition!

    Healthy crunch. Carrots rich in vitamin A. Cabbage rich in fiber and vitamin K, A and C. Uses zesty Veganaise, vegan “mayo” – so no unhealthy saturated fat-loaded mayo. I’ve even added a few twists on this classic dish.

    Sweet ‘n Pepper Toasted Pistachios

    1 cup roasted and salted pistachios (de-shelled)
    2 tablespoon agave syrup
    1 tablespoon oil (olive or canola)
    5 grinds fresh black pepper

    To make:
    Add oil to a skillet.
    Turn stove heat on high.
    When oil starts to sizzle, add nuts.
    Shake pan back and forth as you ‘toast’ them.
    (shake continuously over heat during next steps.)
    Add agave and some black pepper.
    Shake/toast over high heat for 90 more seconds.
    Make sure all nuts are coated.

    Remove pan from heat.

    Toss nuts with pepper well.
    Pour in a small bowl.
    As nuts cool they will harden.

    Serve warm or cool.
