Fall Slaw with Maple Tahini Dressing
I am a huge fan of the Farmer’s Market. I go at least 2 to 3 times a week to get fresh produce, flowers, and plants. Prices can’t be beat, and the selection is always great. Sunday morning, I was making my usual rounds when I spotted a few friends at the Market Talk. It is a very cool demonstration area that highlights local growers, chefs, etc. I have done two raw food presentations there.
Sunday’s topic was, “All about Rutabaga” presented by Kim Christensen. She has a great blog called, “Affairs of Living” where she has all kinds of gluten free and allergy free recipes. I couldn’t help but sit down to watch because I love rutabaga. Kim was in the middle of a making a salad using raw rutabaga! Inspired, I went home and threw together a raw food recipe for fall slaw with rutabaga, kohlrabi, and a bunch of other fun things topped off with a Maple Tahini Dressing! This recipe goes together fast. The biggest problem I had was trying not to eat it all before I had a picture of it! This will become a staple at my house.

This is great! I actually only made the dressing – just came back from New Hampshire and am craving things with maple syrup! I put the dressing over a salad of shredded broccoli, carrots, sweet peas, apples, raisins, and sunflower seeds. It’s great!

Loved this recipe as a base. You can add so maybe different variety of root vegetables for it. My last adventure, I finely shredded some kale for additional roughage, and the marinade tenderizes it wonderful. I also julienned some beets and shredded the greens. Simply amazing. As I entertain LARGE groups of my kids and their families, leftover salad is non-existent. Let your imagination go wild
