I am not a coleslaw lover, but I love this salad. The dressing is light and the herbs give the slaw a great flavor. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Herbed Slaw with Garlic Aioli Dressing

Dressing
Peeled Garlic (3 cloves)
Juice of 2 lemons
1 egg yolk
Grapeseed Oil (about 1/2 cup)
Salt to taste

Salad
Cabbage (shredded)
Bell pepper (thinly sliced)
Green onion (rough chop)
Cilantro (rough chop)
Tarragon (rough chop)
Red onion (thinly sliced)
White onion (thinly sliced)

First make the dressing
Add garlic, yolk, salt, and lemon juice to a blender. Turn it on and slowly drizzle oil in. It will thicken slowly. Set aside.

Add all the salad ingredients to a bowl. Pour dressing on top and mix. If you add too much salt, you can balance it with a little molasses (about 1/2 tsp) mixed into the salad. Refrigerate until you are ready to eat it.

Herb for the healing of the nation! Please use fresh herbs when making this salad. I promise you... your mouth will thank you. Sooooo much win!

This is great quick meal if you have left over chicken. If you dont have any chicken, you dont like chicken, you have a pet chicken... leave it out. This a great salad full of vegetables and herbs. To add even more fiber and nutrients, use whole wheat pasta instead of white. On to the recipe!
