Honey-Ginger Sesame Slaw
So easy, so healthy, soooo good!
Ingredients:
1/2 a head of cabbage-shredded & 2 carrots-grated (or 1 bag pre-cut coleslaw, kale slaw or broccoli slaw)
4 tbsp NOOC Japanese Toasted Sesame Oil
4 tbsp NOOC Honey-Ginger White Balsamic
2-4 tbsp Mayo or Plain yogurt (totally optional!)
Freshly ground pepper
Directions
Stir everything but the coleslaw in a mixing bowl with a fork until it begins to emulsify (blend). Add the slaw, toss, let sit for 10 minutes or longer. Toss again and serve. That’s it!
If you like some heat add 1 tbsp of NOOC Baklouti Green Chile Olive Oil. Or try it NOOC Persian Lime or Blood Orange Olive Oil instead of the Toasted Sesame Oil
Best Caesar Salad - Ever!
Seriously, it's the best. And the beautiful thing is that you can simply just use this combination of 4 NOOC oils and vinegars for a super easy, dairy-free and vegan Caesar dressing. I just can't help myself from indulging in all the other "bad" stuff 'cause it's just sooooo good (and because apparently I like to do stuff the hard way LOL). Either way, you've just made your Caesar dressing next level and way healthier than the creamy and preservative filled store-bought alternatives! Feel free to substitute real lemon juice for 1/2 the Sicilian Lemon Balsamic if you like it less sweet and more tart.
Ingredients
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Eureka Lemon Fused Olive Oil
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Garlic Olive Oil
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Neapolitan Herb Dark Balsamic
1-2 cloves garlic (optional-the Garlic Olive Oil is enough if you just want a mild garlic flavour)
1/4 c finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 inch of anchovy paste or one anchovy (a tsp of capers is a good vegetarian substitute)
1 egg (I use raw but you can coddle it if you prefer, or no egg at all!)
2 strips crispy bacon, cut small or to your preferred size
