Sweet Slaw

Yield: 2 Cups

Here is a remake of the classic Dutch recipe for coleslaw, which traditionally features shredded cabbage. AICR has added sliced strawberries and kiwi fruit for a sweet and tangy taste. If you are looking for a side dish that is high in fiber and higher still in taste, this is the recipe for you.

Strawberry-Kiwi Slaw with Poppy Seed Dressing

Dressing:
2 Tbsp. raspberry vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. honey
Pinch ground mace
1/4 tsp. poppy seeds
1 Tbsp. plain fat-free yogurt

Salad:
1 cup ripe strawberries, washed, stems removed and chopped
1 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced into thin strips
2 cups very finely shredded cabbage
1/2 cup fresh cilantro or fresh mint, washed and chopped
(optional)
Parsley, for garnish

Preparations
In a food processor or blender, purée all the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spoon the dressing into a small bowl. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. In a large salad bowl, combine the salad ingredients. Pour on the dressing and toss the salad. Garnish with parsley and serve. This dish, fully prepared, can be made 1 day in advance.
Makes 2 cups.
