Description

If you are looking for the perfect side dish to complement my Black Garlic Aioli Burgers, this Herbed Cashew Aioli Slaw is it. Crunchy white cabbage together with grated carrot, sweet, juicy apple, and a bit of onion for spice are smothered in a healthy cashew based Aioli with lots of fresh herbs and garlic. Light and refreshing, yet packs a punch in flavour, to stand up to the burger. Or any other main dish you have it with.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Slaw

  • 1/2 white cabbage (or a mix of red and white, finely shredded)
  • 2 carrots (grated)
  • 2 apples (finely sliced)
  • 1 onion (finely sliced)

Herbed Cashew Aioli

  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 2 tbsp raisins (Try 1 tbsp first if you prefer your dressing on the more savoury side.)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 2 tbsp fresh Parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp liquid aminos (Or Tamari or soy sauce. Liquid Aminos are slightly sweeter, so you might have to adjust the seasoning.)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Herbed Cashew Aioli:

  1. Soak cashews in just boiled water for about 10 minutes or in cold water overnight.
  2. Drain cashews and add them to a high-speed blender along with raisins, onion powder, fresh dill, parsley, cilantro, basil, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, liquid aminos (or Tamari or soy sauce), water, salt, and pepper.
  3. Blend until the mixture is creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add water if the aioli is too thick, considering that the slaw contains water as well.

Assembling the Slaw:

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced apples, and onions.
  2. Pour the Herbed Cashew Aioli over the vegetables.
  3. Mix the slaw thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated with the aioli.
  4. Chill the slaw in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and permeate through the slaw.

Serving:

  1. Enjoy the Herbed Cashew Aioli Slaw as a snack or a side dish with your favorite meals. It pairs well with anything from burgers to BBQ, providing a fresh, garlicky-herb crunch on the side.
  2. Alternatively, use it as a topping for other salads to enhance your veggie intake in a delightful way.

This Herbed Cashew Aioli Slaw keeps in a lidded container the fridge for about 4 days and only gets better while sitting. I love to make it on my weekend, to have some fresh side dish with every meal during my work week.
