1/2 cup fresh spearmint or a mix of other mint leaves
3 Tbl vegenaise

1/2 cup fresh spinach



PREPARATION:

  1. In a food processor, chop the cabbage until it is fine.
  2. Roughly chop the mint
  3. In a small bowl, mix the Vegenaise*, the vinegar, the sugar and the salt.
  4. Toss the cabbage and mint with the dressing.
  5. Make a bed with the spinach leaves and spoon the coleslaw.

Bon appétit

*Vegenaise is the best eggless mayonnaise.
