A play on Coleslaw

Here is a play on Coleslaw. Simple to make and full of healthy benefits such as:

- beta-carotene (antioxidant and related to improved vision)
- vitamin A (helps night vision, skin and immune system)
- vitamin C (antioxidant, needed for collagen production which keeps skin looking young)
- vitamin K (regulated bone mineralization and thus improves bone density)

I used purple cabbage because it has higher nutrient levels but green cabbage will taste just the same just look less colorful. 

Here's how to make it serves 2 large portions which could serve as side for 4 people:

1/3 purple cabbage
1 large or 2 medium carrots
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (use the unhusked as they retain more nutrients)
1 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
1,5 tsp nigella seeds (black onion seeds)*

*optional in replacement of the nigella seeds, could be spring onion or red onion

Dressing:
1/2 tbsp diijon mustard
1/2 lemon juice
1 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp tamari sauce
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or any other cold pressed oil

1. Cut the cabbage into half and then a quarter. Use a madeline to finely slice the cabbage. If you don't have a madeline use a cheese slicer and carefully slice the cabbage over a leveled area (as if slicing cheese).
2. Peel and grate the carrot(s)
3. Make the dressing, mixing the dijon, vinegar and tamari first so as to dissolve them before adding the oil. 
4. Add the toasted seeds**
5. Add all the ingredients to a bowl, mixing in the dressing. 

**You can easily toast seeds in a pan on a low heat without any oil or greese until they begin to pop. You need to be watching and stiring them to get an even toast and avoid burning them)
