Healthy Cabbage, Pea and Tahini Slaw

Saturday 16 May 2015

 
It's never a wrong season for a salad, but as we are now getting into warmer weather, cold crispy and refreshing meals are a perfect option. Today I'm sharing a super easy recipe of an absolutely delicious and clean slaw / salad with a rich combination of flavours, is super healthy and perfect for weight-loss, mild detox and that healthy pick-me-up boost. I love this salad so much, it never stays in my fridge for too long, even if I do batch cooking for later!



INGREDIENTS:
(makes a big bowl, servings quantity depends on your preference)
 

For the salad
♥ 1/2 head of fresh medium size white cabbage
♥ 250g of snap peas or snow peas
♥ 40 - 50g spring onions
♥ Optional: 2T of sesame seeds or crushed peanuts to sprinkle on top


For the dressing
♥ 250ml of organic plain fat-free yoghurt
♥ 3T of tahini (sesame seeds paste)
♥ Optional: 3 cloves of garlic



METHOD:

 
1. Shred the fresh cabbage and finely chop the spring onions. You can also cut the peas if you want or simply leave them whole as I did.
2. In a large bowl, mix cabbage, spring onions and peas.
3. In a separate bowl mix yoghurt and tahini. Optional: add finely chopped garlic.
4. Now pour the dressing over the salad. Optional: sprinkle some sesame seeds or peanuts on top.
5. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. 




ENJOY! xx
