Tahini Coleslaw with Nectarines

This coleslaw is delicious and a great way to wow your guests and/or people at any gathering. The sweetness of the nectarines compliments the tahini dressing and herbs in the coleslaw. This is a recipe you will want to save and use multiple times throughout the summer. You can use a mandolin to cut the cabbage super thin or use a sharp knife and take your time. You can also make this ahead of time, just keep the coleslaw and the dressing separate until right before serving.

Tahini Coleslaw with Nectarines

This coleslaw isn't the typical mayonnaise-based salad. It's tossed in a tahini dressing, and added nectarines bring a sweetness to the side dish. This is Whole30 and Paleo compatible.
