Coleslaw 2.0
Here's a really tasty and easy update to previous coleslaw recipes I have posted to go with fish tacos. For the main course, try Bobby Flay’s fish tacos with smoky tomato crema. I made these with family and all was superb. This coleslaw was inspired by Bobby Flay’s recipe.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 head Napa cabbage or green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil
Directions
- Combine lemon juice, orange juice, honey, mustard, basil and seasoning in a blender. Blend on high speed then drizzle in the canola oil while blending (everyone says "drizzle" for the oil in vinaigrettes, but I am not sure it matters how quickly you add the oil). The dressing is a delightful light green and just the best.
- Toss some of it with the veggies and serve. You will have more dressing for another salad.
