No Name… but It’s Great!

I love seafood. Grilled, baked, sautéd, in some cases raw, seafood is yummy.  Of course you won’t find me on the ocean trying to catch them myself. (You might have to be in the ladies training at 9 in Epsom to get the reason). Oh sorry – too far off course – back to fish.

One of my favorite side dishes along with seafood is coleslaw. Ah, but coleslaw contains mayonnaise, and on a hot summer’s day, mayo will not last long. I came across this recipe and modified it just a bit to meet my needs. It’s cool. It’s refreshing. And it goes great in place of coleslaw.

Now to think of a name for this recipe. (Maybe someone could help me out?)

  • “In Place of Coleslaw Recipe”
  • 1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon basil

In a large bowl, combine beans, cabbage, red pepper, onions, feta cheese and parsley. In a jar with a tight lid, combine the rest of the ingredients. Shake the dressing ingredients well. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss lightly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Remember this recipe needs a name. What is a snappy name that will fit the bill?
