Katchkie Farm CSA - Week 6 - Coleslaw
This week's CSA delivery from Katchkie Farm included cabbage, basil, cilantro, lettuce, beets, tomatoes and since it has been so hot and humid in the city, a cool coleslaw was in order. I've become addicted to using Nori Tamago Furikake in salad dressings. It's a Japanese prepared seaweed and sesame seed mixture that is more traditionally used to flavor cooked rice, but it's fantastic in dressings and eggs, adding a unique underlying flavor profile.
The coleslaw with cabbage, cucumber ribbons and three fresh herbs turned out wonderfully and was the center of a salad with lettuce, tomato and roasted beets.
