This is great for summer as it's lighter than traditional mayo dressed slaws. The dressing features a welcome citrus zing and the bright colors pair nicely with grilled foods. Using a mandoline for shredding and slicing makes short work of cutting all of the vegetables. Created for Dining on a Dollar -Zucchini Contest.

Ingredients:

3 cups cabbage, shredded

1/2 cup carrot, cut into matchsticks

1 cup zucchini, cut into matchsticks

1/2 cup purple onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks

2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon orange zest, fresh

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/8 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Chop and slice all vegetables. Mix in bowl.
2. Make the dressing using everything except the oil. Stream the oil into the mixture & whip to emulsify.
3. Pour over the vegetables & mix. Stir in the sesame seeds.
4. Cover with plastic wrap & chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
