Farmers market products plentiful this time of year.....Lime Coleslaw......

I love this time of the year.  We so much fresh produce available at the farmers markets it would be a shame not to use these beautiful products.  This is a great end of the year salad that I put together.  It does not have that creamy high calorie dressing.  I love the tart dressing that brings out the rich flavors of the fresh vegetables.  I made this for a family gathering. 

Jane's Lime coleslaw:  can be assembled a couple of hours ahead of time.  Add blueberries right before serving.

• 1 head of cabbage (I would use a medium size head you get a great deal of cabbage in one head)
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 red pepper chopped
• 1/2 yellow pepper chopped
• 1/2 green or purple pepper chopped
• 1 medium size red onion chopped
• 2 celery stalks chopped
• 3 cobs of corn grilled, (remove corn from cob for salad by cutting between the cob and the corn) (Note:  You can use a drained 15 ounce can of corn too.  I just love the flavor from the grilled product and always make extra when we grill.)
• 1 pint blueberries (Can use 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries when blueberries are out of season.)

Combine all of the above items except the blueberries.  Mix.  Add dressing and mix again.  Gently add the blueberries before serving.

Dressing:  Combine and shake in a separate container

• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 t honey
• 1/2 t garlic powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t chili powder
• 1/4 t pepper
• 1/4 t cumin

Taste:  I like this tart flavor.  If you would like it sweeter add a bit more honey.

The beautiful ingredients before they are put together!  Don't you love the wonderful colors we get from nature?
