Vegan coleslaw with sunflower seed dressing

INGREDIENTS:

Salad ingredients:

• 1/3 medium sized cabbage (red or white)
• 2 medium to large sized carrots

Sunflower seed dressing ingredients:

• 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup of water
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

METHOD:

Peel the carrots and grate them. Then finely cut up the coleslaw. Put all sunflower seed ingredients into a small powerful blender and blend until you get a smooth dressing. You might have to add a little bit more water, depending on your blender. Put the carrots, coleslaw and the dressing into a large bowl and mix together. Do a taste test and if necessary add a bit more salt and vinegar.

This coleslaw would be a perfect side for the beetroot burger (recipe here).
