1 Large Grated Carrot
1 Medium Sized Grated Cucumber
3 Tablespoons Diced Mint
3 Tablespoons Pepitas
3 Tablespoons Sultanas

Tahini Sauce
3 Tablespoons Unhulled Tahini
2 Tablespoons Rice Malt Syrup
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method

Combine cabbage, carrot and cucumber to make this Summer Slaw.

In a small bowl combine the tahini, rice malt syrup, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and mix until smooth.

The Tahini Sauce works as a combining agent with the wet ingredients of cabbage, carrot and cucumber.

Drizzle the tahini sauce over the Summer Slaw and mix until the salad is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until required.

Notes

As the cucumber is high in water content, once grated, you will need to squeeze the excess water prior to adding to the Slaw Salad.

The measurements for the Tahini Sauce will produce a relatively thick sauce. As the cabbage, carrot and cucumber are wet ingredients, the thickened sauce will help act as a combining agent.
