Summer is here and it’s a great time to up your intake of fresh organic raw foods. Die hard veggie lovers know that in order to survive staying raw with a busy lifestyle you’ve got to master the art of creating interesting salads in between those fancy gourmet nights. I had lots of fun on Monday making a nontraditional summer coleslaw. Instead of mayonnaise, I used a tahini dressing, which gives it the perfect flavor, and rather than using only cabbage I worked in some kale. To top it off I sprinkled on some cranberries and pumpkin seeds, but you can also try pine nuts, raisins, or sunflower seeds. If you are headed to a summer barb-Q or party and need to bring vegan rations, this a great recipe to try. Best part about it? It tastes even better the second day. -XoXo Raw Girl
