Red Cabbage Slaw With Vegan Dressing

Hmmm burgers. I love making veggie burgers, but only if hubby is the one putting them on the barbecue. At the moment, it’s not quite barby season but rather cuddle-yourself-in-the-blanket-all-evening-season. So, hubby is sweet enough to be in charge of making bean patties in the frying pan. Then, all it takes to make the family happy is some burger buns and a good side salad.

And that’s when this amazingly colored red cabbage and carrot coleslaw comes in handy. Freshly shredded red cabbage paired with shredded carrots…. yum yum. For herbs, I love to go with chives (my absolute favorite!) and freshly chopped cilantro. If these two aren’t your thing, feel free to swap for whatever you like.
