Author Notes

Healthy salad for guilt free indulgence. Adapted from mynewroots. I love this slaw because it's dressing maintains the creaminess without having any of those ingredients. A dressing of olive oil, lemon juice and tahini. This is perfect for those days when you have leftover cabbage. It makes a lot and costs almost nothing. —ami@naivecookcooks

Just made this for a pot luck at the beach and it was a huge hit. I had some hazelnut oil left that needed to be used and it tasted great in this fine dressing. Thanks for sharing.

I added white balsamic vinegar instead of water (same amount as tahini). Turned out great!!! Nice acidic balance to the creaminess of the tahini.
