1 cup walnut halves
*NOTES:
The original recipe didn’t call for maple syrup (which I know is not raw, but it is often used in raw recipes) or salt and pepper. I felt it really needed these additional ingredients, otherwise it was a bit bland.

STEP 2:
The dressing can be made with a food processor, hand-blender, or simply by using a whisk. The latter method will require more work to achieve the creaminess, but it can be done. Combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil thru salt/pepper) until creamy. Original recipe said to add in three tablespoons of water as you go, but I didn’t find it necessary.

Coleslaw is a really flexible dish, so feel free to change it up. Try adding chopped apples or pears, or subbing broccoli stems for one of the cabbage quarters.
