the salad i forgot to make on saturday night

its a coleslaw alternative for those of us who aint keen on mayo. and has chillies too, bonus!

salad
half a red cabbage, shredded
about 4 carrots, grated
tablespoon of linseeds (also good with hempseeds)

dressing:
olive oil
lemon
small clove of garlic
an inch of ginger
piece of mild red chilli
handful offresh corainder leaves
dash of soy sauce if you think it needs it

make a paste in a mortar and pestle with garlic and a wee bit olive oil.
add ginger and paste that too.
(as you go along you'll need to add dashes of oil)
chop chilli finely,add to mixture in mortar, and paste.
roughly chop coriander leaves and press them in with pestle to release a bit of flavour.
add more oil and juice of a lemon, until the dressing has a good vinaigrette-style viscosity. you can add a wee bit soy sauce here if you like.

mix up the cabbage and carrot. pour dressing over, toss salad then sprinkle linseeds on top.

an excellent lunch accompanied with smoked fish of choice and squeeze of lemon on toast/oatcake. obviously.
