Four Cabbage Coleslaw

I was browsing the library yesterday and found Gordon Ramsay's newest book Healthy Appetite. I brought it home to flip through the recipes and was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few healthy recipes that I thought looked really tasty. Today I tried out his four cabbage coleslaw beause I liked the idea of using sesame oil and balsamic vinegar in a slaw recipe instead of the normal veg or olive oil and white or wine vinegar. This is a whole grain mustard based coleslaw instead of the mayo based I see everywhere. I only made a half recipe, but I loved it! I left out the savoy cabbage since I couldn't find any at my local grocery store. I added some shredded carrot into mine since I didn't have any savoy cabbage. I will definitely make this again.

For the dressing, whisk the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the shredded cabbage and toss to mix. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle the chives over the coleslaw and toss to mix just before serving.
