a simple real food recipe :: zucchini coleslaw :: dairy free option

Ingredients
  • 4 large or 6 smaller zucchini, julienned (I have a great julienne peeler!)
  • ½ red onion sliced thin (white onion is fine too but I love the purple color!)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 carrots shredded (you could julienne this too but I have little ones that chew the shredded easier!)
  • ½ cup full fat sour cream or homemade mayo. (If you are dairy free try coconut milk yogurt, or homemade mayo!)
  • 1 TB lemon juice
  • 1 TB raw honey
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp parsley flakes
  • ⅛ cayenne pepper (optional if you don’t like the kick!)
  • ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
  1. Put the julienned zucchini and the sliced onion in a strainer with the sea salt and combine. Let this mixture drain for a few minutes while you put the dressing together. The salt draws out the water in the zucchini and onions – your coleslaw will be too runny if you don’t do this ;) This should also be enough salt to season the dish – you could add more at the end if you need it to taste.
  2. Whisk the sour cream, lemon juice, honey, and seasonings in a small mixing bowl to make the dressing.
  3. Use a paper towel to gently dab/squeeze out the water from the draining zucchini/onion mixture.
  4. Put the zucchini, onion, and carrots in a serving bowl, pour the dressing over top, and combine.
  5. Refrigerate leftovers up to a week.
