Recipe Ingredients
For the Coleslaw:
- 1/2 head White Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 head Red Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 large Carrots, grated
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Dried Cherries and Cranberries mixed
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- ½ small European Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Flat Leaf Parsley, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 Lemon
For the Vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Hot Sauce, adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup Basil Olive Oil (or regular olive oil)
- 1/4 cup Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- Juice of 1 Lemon
Recipe Instructions
Prepare the Vinaigrette:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, hot sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
- Gradually pour in the basil-infused olive oil (or regular olive oil) while continuously whisking to create an emulsion.
- Add the white Sicilian balsamic vinegar and lemon juice to the mixture. Continue whisking until the vinaigrette is smooth and well incorporated.
Prepare the Coleslaw:
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Pour the Vinaigrette over the Coleslaw mixture.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the coleslaw is evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or hot sauce if needed.
- Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to absorb the dressing.
