Work once, and the week is set with this recipe for a versatile vinaigrette and a sturdy, flavour packed cole slaw.
Combine all the ingredients in a bottle with a lid. Shake to combine. Taste and re-season as desired. I always start with less salt for you all, just in case!
Store in the fridge and use as needed. If you have a larger family, or eat often, you may want to double all of the ingredients to achieve 2 cups worth.
Combine all or any of the slaw prep veggies. These are all vegetables that can handle being sliced or shredded and returning to the refrigerator till needed.
Use as many and as much as you want to achieve the amount you want to eat throughout the week. My ingredients change from week to week depending on what is available in the fridge.
Store all in a airtight container in the refrigerator
When ready to eat, bring the vinaigrette to room temperature and shake up.
A good half hour before you want to serve this slaw, take out the amount of slaw ingredients that you would like to eat and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Pour desired amount of dressing over it and toss. Let them soften in the dressing and take on the flavours.
Just before serving, add any of the 'After' veggie or fruit additions that you want and toss gently.
Garnish with seeds or nuts etc.
Serve.
