Hummus instead of Mayo
If you love coleslaw, but feel like it’s too unhealthy of a recipe to indulge in then this light Hummus Slaw is the recipe for you. Instead of using mayonnaise like many Cole Slaw recipes do, this one uses hummus. The hummus in the recipe creates a similar creamy texture to mayonnaise, but with new and nutritious flavors.
Hummus is made of chickpeas, which gives the recipe a wonderful nutty and garlicky flavor. Hummus is also a rich source of vitamins and fiber.
When it comes to the coleslaw mix, you can find plenty of store-bought mixes. But if you have fresh cabbage and would like to make your own fresh mix it’s very easy. Just shred a mix of red cabbage and green cabbage. Be sure to remove the outer leaves first. Add some thinly sliced celery and carrots and toss together.
