Hello,
You don’t win friends with salad but you might entice them with this little recipe!
I hate waste. It pains me to throw out food that has hasn’t been used especially fruit and vegetables. So today I found myself at home trying to figure out if there was anything I could make with my wilting carrots and apples and huzzah there was!
I like salads, sometimes I love them (usually when they are from a restaurant or a shop that know what they are doing *shout out to LovingSalads Cork*) but more often I just like them. I don’t like coleslaw unless it’s the one my mum makes which hopefully i’ll do a post about eventually.
Anyway I decided to try a coleslaw variation. I had limited ingredients as I was still in my pajamas and couldn’t pop to the shop in fear of scaring my new neighborhood with such a sight! However what I made turned out pretty good and is sure to jazz up that boring lunchtime sandwich. Making it again I think I would add raisins and if I’m feeling very adventurous that day maybe even some cabbage!
It’s super easy and would last in a covered container in the fridge for a few days. I hope you enjoy, give it a try!
