Tahini Cole Slaw

Cole slaw in all sorts of forms is yummy dish that I grew up around having grown up in the south. I remember one of my favorite ways to eat it was to mix it with baked beans when they were served together. This might not sound good, but I loved it!

This recipe does not involve baked beans and is not a traditional way to eat slaw, but is very good! Though my recipe differs, I was inspired by this post.

1 head of cabbage
1 green apple
3-4 strands of green onion

4 T Tahini
2-3 lemons

1 tsp coriander
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne

Raw pumpkin seeds
Roasted Macadamia nuts
