Day 4 of a Week of Summer Salads My Own Coleslaw


My Own Coleslaw    :)
          No Dairy, No Sugar

finely chop or shred a head of cabbage and toss with
1 Tablespoon of sea salt.  Set aside for about 1 hour

in a small jar stir dressing together:
          1/4 c lemon juice (my fav is “Italian Volcano Organic“ from Costco)**
          1/3 c coconut oil (may have to warm ever so slightly to get to liquid)
          sweeten to taste with stevia or xylitol ***
          salt and pepper to taste
          1/2 T ground celery seed (my mortar & pestle is a indispensable tool!)
          onion powder or grated Vidalia-type onion to taste

Directions:
          drain cabbage and toss with dressing


***depends on a few things:  liquid stevia, or powdered, or xylitol
          --I prefer xylitol because it naturally kills yeast, and it replenishes the enamel on your teeth. It is 40% sweeter than sugar so you can use less, and 
raises your blood sugar more slowly.

          --I make my own liquid stevia “tea” ...it's easy !!:  steep a lot of stevia leaves in boiled water for 30 min then freeze in ice cube tray.  YaaY!! No Carbs!
Not an artificial sweetener! 

Make your life easy
Special refrigeration at summer parties in not needed since there is 
no mayonnaise or sour cream in this recipe

Make it a Meal
blue cheese is exceptionally yummy…unless you don’t like blue cheese…
Feta is good too!  4 ounces = 1 serving protein

T.W.E.A.K.s
          I LOVE cheddar Sesame Sticks on coleslaw!

          **can use raw apple cider vinegar as alternative
          
          add a small bunch of fresh cilantro chopped and tossed together…
          will reduce it’s shelf-life as cilantro gets mushy with-in about a day of 
          being “chopped”

          use baby kale instead of cabbage!!
