Live Carrot Coleslaw


This totally raw dish is inspired by my Swedish mother-in-law who always made a similar slaw to ensure her kids were eating veggies at every meal. My version has lemon and ginger which kicks it up a little bit, but both are optional, though I wouldn't opt to leave them out :) It's great on the side of heavier, spicy dishes or just on it's own. It's especially beautiful if you can find organic rainbow variety carrots from your farmer's market.



LIVE CARROT COLESLAW

Serves 4 as a side dish

Ingredients:

4-6 carrots
2 small apples (any variety will do)
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1/2 a lemon
small knob of ginger

1. Peel carrots (if necessary), apples, and ginger.
2. Using a cheese grater, grate carrots, apples, and ginger. I personally like to use the largest holes.
3. Pour over orange juice and lemon juice.
4. Mix well and enjoy!
