Vegan Seeded Coleslaw with Zesty Miso Dressing
I created this delicious Vegan Seeded Coleslaw with Zesty Miso Dressing salad last week, when I realized I had ordered a purple cabbage in my organic fruit and veg delivery, and that I also had some organic purple carrots in my fridge. I hoped my kids might find a purple salad fun to eat.
I am always trying to come up with new tasty and low FODMAP salads. Including salads my fussy kids will eat. Well… after the initial tasting, one kid loved it and one kid decided that the taste of cabbage is simply not to her liking. Fair enough!
My Vegan Seeded Coleslaw with Zesty Miso Dressing salad is high in protein too, so a perfect addition to the vegan diet.
To jazz up my purple vegetables, I added standard orange carrots, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, pepitas and some “safe seaweed” flakes. I then created a lemon miso dressing and it worked!
*Recently the Monash FODMAP list has updated some cabbages as FODMAP friendly and Red Cabbage is acceptable.
