slaw

This version of slaw uses courgette instead of cabbage, and it includes spring onion. I’m told that substituting the onion with a grated granny smith apple is also nice (will try that one soon). The dressing is a variation of salsa az, without garlic and with a splash of soy sauce added, but obviously you can play around with flavours. I used to use my grater to make slaw but recently tried my spiralizer instead and actually like the texture better, and the courgette doesn’t need blotting as it does after grating.

Ingredients and Instructions below…

  • 1 large courgette
  • 4 medium carrots
  • 1-2 spring onions
  • salt & pepper

Spiralize the courgette and carrots and then roughly chop them (not too small). Thinly slice the spring onion. Mix together, add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sauce.

  • 1 cup greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • dollop of dijon mustard
  • splash of soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons chopped herbs (I used cilantro and parsley)

If you don’t have a spiralizer it works fine using a grater too, but you’ll have to blot the courgette with paper towels to remove excess moisture after grating. In this case I use a normal sweet onion and grate it too.
