Yummy Raw Kelp Noodle Coleslaw

Raw Kelp Noodle Coleslaw

This is a great spin on a otherwise calorie packed, dressing heavy side dish. The added kelp noodles give it a great crunch that often missing in the basic coleslaw.

**Keep in mind that all kelp noodles are not raw. This is the brand I prefer. It has raw written on the package.

Salad ingredients:
1 head purple cabbage, cored and chopped (or shredded)
3 large carrots, chopped or shredded
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 package kelp noodles-from my experience you may want to cut the noodles. They tend to get caught up in one another and have some long noodles.
(optional) 1 cup raisins ***not all raisins are raw, actually most of them aren’t-a good raw raisin brand is Low Raw Foods

 

Thompson Raisins, raw - LRF (8 oz)

Dressing ingredients:
3/4 cup raw almond milk (check out this link for a great recipe http://www.choosingraw.com/simple-homemade-almond-milk/)
1/2 cup raw almond butter (check out this link for a great recipe http://www.therawtarian.com/raw-almond-butter-recipe
2 tablespoons raw coconut vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
a pinch of freshly ground pepper

Dressing instructions:
In a blender, combine the raw almond milk, raw almond butter, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Salad instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green onion, kelp noodles and optional raisins.
Add the dressing and toss to coat. I personally like to massage the dressing into the salad to really work it in!

This is a perfect side to take on a picnic or camping!

Pilates Platinum began shortly after I experienced my first workout on a Megaformer, which is the revolutionary version of the Pilates machine, the reformer. Like many of my current clients, I fell in love with the workout and experienced amazing results after just a short amount of time. It was a combined passion for health and fitness with my new found favorite workout that led me to open my first studio in Hollywood in 2006 which eventually expanded to three additional facilities. I absolutely love life, spending as much time as I can with family, dancing, running, trying new fitness crazes, being outdoors, drinking green juice and laughing with my friends. I am a Texas girl residing in West Hollywood, CA! Learn more about Heather and Pilates Platinum by visiting: http://www.pilatesplatinum.com
