I am craving cole slaw!! But i dont do mayo, i want something lite cool and crispy but i cant get it right any ideas
Instead of my usual, super juicy slaw, I offer this combination of healthy veggies, and flavors:
1/4 cup green cabbage, grated
1/4 cup purple cabbage, grated
1/2 onion, finely minced
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 jicama, peeled and grated
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 fresh beet, washed and grated
1 honeycrisp apple, diced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
dressing:
1/4 cup apple juice (you could use orange or lime juice instead)
1 tsp. mustard powder
1 tsp. celery seed
1/4 cup cooking oil
Combine all salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Place dressing ingredients into a blender and blend together on medium setting for 20 seconds. Pour dressing into slaw and stir until all is coated.
For an Asian flair, omit the remove raisins, apple, and walnuts. Add grated bok choy, and diced water chestnuts.
For the dressing, use 3 tbs cooking oil with 1 tbs. sesame oil. add mustard powder, a dash of ginger root, and a dash of 5 spice powder. Add 2 tbs. rice wine vinegar, and 1 tbs. sugar. Blend until smooth. Mix with slaw.

Alix posted a coleslaw recipe titled "Joe's Famous Coleslaw". I haven't tried it yet, but I am going to make it tonight. It has no mayo and looks very good. Look it up.
