Winter slaw with chilli dressing
This is a lovely zesty and fresh salad for mid-winter’s day, and it full of goodness. It works well as a salad for lunch or a light dinner, or it’s equally good alongside seared tuna, lamb chops or a grilled chicken breast. I’ve included a whole medium chilli here so adjust the heat to your liking.
Method
Add all the slaw ingredients into a medium sized bowl and stir. Put the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and stir. Add the dressing to the slaw, stir well, and taste. Adjust the chilli, oil, lemon and salt to your liking.
This slaw will hold in the fridge for up to 2 days.

You could add in toasted pinenuts or sesame seeds instead of sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Freshly chopped mint, coriander or chives would really lift it… or try using all three!”
