August 1st, 2009

Ingredients

1 bag of shredded Cole-slaw

1 mango (chopped)

1 small to medium can of chopped pineapple

For dressing

1 avocado

1 lime (juiced)

1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard

3 tablespoons of Olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Salad dressing

In a blender or food processor, blend the avocado, lime juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until smooth.

Coleslaw

Combine the bag of cabbage, pineapple, mango, and salad dressing mixture and toss until everything is evenly covered by the dressing. You don’t need a lot of dressing for coleslaw. This should provide enough flavors to wake the taste buds. Salt and pepper to taste.

This goes coleslaw really compliments pulled pork or smoked chicken. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, try adding this to the vegan form of barbecued flavored “mock” chicken.
