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.

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl toss together the cabbage, cilantro, mint, basil, and green onions.
  2. Add the tahini, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, almond butter, coconut aminos, and olive oil to a blender or jar wide enough to fit an immersion blender and blend until the dressing has emulsified.
  3. Right before serving the coleslaw, mix it thoroughly with the dressing. Top with the segmented nectarines and pepitas.
  4. Once the coleslaw and the dressing are combined, it will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
