Time 20m

Yield 8 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head green cabbage, shredded
1 white onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch parsley, minced
2 tablespoons tahini

  • Add other vegetables: Carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions are all common additions to coleslaw. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables that you like.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the slaw just before serving: This will prevent the cabbage from getting soggy.
