This delicious coleslaw is a great way to end cravings and balance health and emotions by balancing all five flavors (bitter, sweet, pungent/spicy, salty and sour) in your diet. Certainly you don't always have to eat a balance of flavors in every single dish, but here is one that balances all five flavors beautifully (especially with the apples added at the end!)
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (sour)
- 2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari (salty)
- 1 Tbsp brown or deli style mustard (pungent, salty, bitter)
- 1/2 inch nub of ginger (pungent)
- 2 small cloves garlic (pungent)
- handful raw cashews (sweet)
- mustard (pungent, sour)
- water (enough to cover cashews, you can adjust water depending on how thick or thin you'd like the dressing.)
- cabbage (bitter, pungent, sweet)
- beets (bitter, sweet)
- carrots (sweet)
Sliced apples (sweet) were added at the end.
Delicious!
