Olive Oil & White Balsamic Coleslaw

Olive Oil & White Balsamic Coleslaw

Did you know coleslaw dates to the 18th century? The word comes from Dutch Koolsla-cabbage salad. Instead of mayo & sugar why not a healthier alternative using our Olio Nuovo olive oil & White Balsamic Condiment vinegar. Easy to make, this crunchy, fiber rich & delicious version goes with barbecued chicken, grilled burgers even your favorite sandwich. 6 ample servings.

Easy Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Villa Graziella Organic extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Villa Graziella Organic White Balsamic Condiment vinegar + extra to taste

• 4 cups green cabbage-washed, rinsed, dried & shredded in ¼ inch strips

• 2 cups red cabbage-washed, rinsed, dried & shredded in ¼ inch strips

• 1 cup carrots-washed, rinsed, dried & shredded in ¼ inch strips

• ¼ cup honey, if possible organic or pure maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon Dijon or grainy mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon sea (Kosher fine), + extra to taste

• 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper, + extra to taste

• 1/4 teaspoon celery seed

Simple Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the carrots, green and red cabbage, set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper & celery seed.

3. Slowly whisk in olive oil, to the bowl, dressing mixture should start to thicken.

4. Add ½ the dressing to cabbage and carrots, gently toss.

5. Slaw may seem dry; however, cabbage will release a lot of moisture.

6. After 5 minutes add remaining dressing.

7. Cover & refrigerate 30 minutes to 3 hours before serving.

8. Season with sea salt & pepper, toss.

9. Serve and enjoy.

10. Cover & refrigerate 2-4 days.

Helpful Hints:

• Short on time? Use pre-cut, packaged cabbage & carrots, make sure wash & dry.

• High in water, cabbage releases water when combined with vinegar and salt, cutting ¼ heftier strips to keep crisp and avoid wilting.
