Salad ingredients

  • ½ a purple cabbage
  • 1clove of garlic
  • 3 carrots
  • 3 spring onions

For vegan mayonnaise;

– 4 oz. silken tofu

– 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

-2 tsp. Dijon mustard

– 4-6 tbsp. vegetable oil

– Salt

(Optional: The vegan mayonnaise is optional, it lifts the dish and creates coleslaw more than a salad)

Method

– Place the salad ingredients in a food processor and blend until fine

– For the vegan mayonnaise, combine the tofu, lemon juice and mustard in a blender until the tofu is smooth

– While blending, slowly add the oil until emulsified and the mixture thickens

– Add the salt and taste and adjust for seasoning as needed

– Add as much of the vegan mayonnaise to the salad as you desire

– The vegan mayonnaise is very close to the real thing in texture and taste; keep the leftover mixture in a jar in the fridge for every day use
