Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp dry mustard powder

Combine these 3 ingredients in a jar and shake to mix.


DIRECTIONS

Yield: 8 servings

Thinking of summer? This coleslaw is just what you need.

Coleslaw is a summer favourite, and this recipe has the full flavour of summer with fresh mint and lemon juice. My sister-in-law always made this salad when she came to visit, in 2008 she sent me the recipe and I have been making it ever since. The original recipe calls for peanut oil, but it is just as amazing by swapping out the peanut oil for avocado oil.

This is a simple and quick recipe that makes 8 servings, so you will have leftovers for lunch throughout the week.
