There is nothing like a fresh coleslaw for a nice bit of crunch! This crunchy coleslaw with tahini and lime dressing certainly has that along with the extra benefits of an extremely healthy and delicious dressing – so much better than any old ‘mayo’.
It’s a good idea to make up a batch that you can keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Serve it alongside any meal or topped with a bit of crumbled feta and walnuts for a quick healthy lunch, it adds extra variety and texture a good punch of raw antioxidants.
