COLE SLAW WITH HONEY, ORANGE & WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR SAUCE.

COLE SLAW WITH HONEY, ORANGE, & WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR SAUCE.

I love Cole Slaw.  It's so easy,  yummy and so darn healthy.   

INGREDIENTS:
2  Cup loosely packed RED CABBAGE
2 Cup loosely packed WHITE CABBAGE 
4 Tablespoons of Golden raisins, regular raisins or craisins.  Craisins are dried cranberries.
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon White Balsamic Vinegar.
2 Tablespoons Mayonnies
2 Tablespoons Fresh squeezed Orange Juice.
One carrot.
1 or 2 Cups of Jicama or a crispy apple.
A handful of nut your choice.

NOTE: It's ok if you have just one type of cabbage. Just make it four cups.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

NOTE: You will need a vegetable peeler, a nutmeg grater or a cheese grater, using the finest tooth.

FIRST: CHOPPING, GRATING AND PEELING
Cut both cabbages as thin as you can get it.  Remember you don't have to be perfect. Get in there and slice away.  Then take all that you have slice off and give a few chops this way and that way. Measure and put in bowl.  Next chop the top and end off the carrot. Peel the skin off, then either using the nutmeg grater or cheese grater. Grate away the carrot into the bowl with the cabbage.

Note: If using a nutmeg grater that is long, make sure that it is supported over the bowl and you grate the carrot.

Next take the Jicama  and chop it in half.  Take the half and place it cut side down on the cutting board.  Now cut off half circles the width of your finger nail length wise.  After you have about four or five halves.  Next take a small knife and use it to trim off the jicama's outer peeling.  Now take your vegetable peeler and peel away over the bowl.  Keep peeling until you have only a little piece left in your hand.
If your using a apple peel it the same way.

SECOND: MIXING
Now that you have the cabbages, carrots and jicama all cut, peeled and grated add the nuts and raisins and mix well.

THIRD:  HONEY ORANGE & BALSAMIC DRESSING
 In a bowl mix honey,fresh squeezed Orange juice, mayonnies, vinegar and mix with a whisk.  It should be a little runny and not thick.  

Chill for an hour or not. :)  Then dig in.  This makes an excellent lunch for a hot day or make a excellent side dish for fish.
