Ginger Cole Slaw With Plums

ladypit's Note:

I've been trying lots of different types of coleslaws this summer. So when I saw this recipe in a weight loss magazine I knew it was one I would want to try. Plus, I just bought some rice vinegar and this will be a good way to use it! 1 cup is 1 WW point and this is a core recipe. Cook time is standing time.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

• 3 plums, pitted and thinly sliced
• 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrot, shredded
• 2 scallions, sliced

Directions:

1. In a large bowl mix together the vinegar, oil, ginger, and salt.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
3. Cover and put in the fridge for the flavors to blend.
4. 1 to 4 hours is the recommended blending time.

I love making coleslaw as a lighter healthier alternative to mayo based potato or macaroni salads. This was a great change from the usual with crisp and bright flavors. I did not have red cabbage and did not want to buy one for this purpose so my slaw was green cabbage slivered at home. Thanks ladypit.

Oh my goodness, what a great idea for cole slaw! I must admit the plums I got were a bit on the sour side, but I'm not going to mark off for that, of course. The juiciness of the plums and the gingery dressing made a nice departure from the usual cole slaw. I admit I did use green cabbage because that's what I had on hand. I had this by itself but can't wait to serve it as part of a Chinese meal.
