Super simple and super pretty confetti slaw - can be made in less than 30 minutes, with less than 10 ingredients, AND it's appealing to both children and adults. How perfect? It's also incredibly delicious. Adding the fruit to a simple balsamic vinegar dressing, sweetened by honey keeps the slaw fresh and the flavors familiar though unexpected in this dish.  The sunflower seeds give it a nice crunch.  With honey being a natural preservative as well as the vinegar, the dressing will remain fresh in the refrigerator for three weeks able to use it on lettuce and fruit salads too!

Ingredients:
  • ½ small head Green Cabbage
  • ½ small head Purple Cabbage
  • 2 large Carrots, trimmed and scrubbed
  • 2 cups Strawberries, hulled
  • 2 small-medium Peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (NOT Olive Oil)
  • ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 cup raw Sunflower Seeds (shelled and unsalted)
    Instructions: Using the grating disk in a food processor, grate the green cabbage, purple cabbage and carrots.  Transfer them into a large bowl and set aside. In a blender combine the strawberries, peaches, honey, oil and balsamic vinegar.  Pulse until it liquefies into a dressing. Toss the amount of desired dressing into the slaw (note: the dressing recipe will be more than most will need for this volume of slaw to apply it slowly, toss and add more if desired to meet your personal preference).  Add 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds on top of each serving.   *To keep the slaw crunchy, keep the slaw and dressing separate, mixing just before serving.  If you have extra undressed slaw it can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for another use and dressed when needed.*
