Healthy kale and carrot slaw with clementine tahini sauce

Feeling the after effects of an indulgent Christmas? Me too! This healthy kale and carrot slaw recipe is my favourite way to pack in extra veggies and cleanse your system. Chewing through a plate of raw veg isn’t all that easy right? Mix in this vegan friendly clementine tahini dressing using my all time favourite Meridian Foods tahini and all of a sudden ‘OK nice healthy salad’ goes to ‘Oh my god, I’m so making you again tomorrow!’

This healthy kale and carrot slaw is one of my favourite salads. Not only is it a lighter version to normal coleslaw, it’s Paleo and Keto approved. Creamy, dreamy, crisp, fresh nourishment with every bite. More colourful veggies on your plates means more nutrients and this one is bursting with them. So if you’re celebrating  Veganuary why not give this a try? Julie loved it so much it’s up on The Feedfeed’s Vegan feed too.

Back in December a talented group of ‘Free From’ bloggers and I got our heads to gather and decided every month to do a collaboration of recipes to show that ‘Free From’ and allergy friendly cooking doesn’t need to be complicated… and most importantly it tastes sensational. Well here we all are again this time with #Glutenfreeveganuary featuring our favourite vegan recipes that are all gluten free.
