Description

A far cry from the bland, mayo-based slaw we're all used to, this vibrant and crunchy salad packs an unforgettably warm kick.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 small cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 red chilies, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 t peanut oil
  • 1 T curry powder
  • 1 T fresh lemon juice
  • 1 T rice wine vinegar
  • 2 t dijon mustard
  • 3 T olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine cabbage, carrots, and the chilies in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate.  Heat peanut oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, add curry powder, remove from heat, and set aside to let cool. 

Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt & pepper, then drizzle olive oil and reserved curry oil while whisking constantly.  Toss with cabbage mixture and coat evenly. Serve cold.
