Lennon's Salad

Well, I named this simple salad after my 3.5 year old son, Lennon. He just loves this salad and scoffs it down like a little piggy whenever I make it...which can only be a good thing, after all - what is better than seeing your child pigging out on a SALAD???

Nice and healthy and a good alternative to a creamy coleslaw (less calories thats even better!)

• 1/2 head of cabbage (or 1/4 if it is an extremely BIG one!), finely shredded
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 40g chunk of cheese, grated (tasty reduced fat)

Dressing :

• juice of half a lemon
• 1/4 C white vinegar
• olive oil, a few good glugs
• 1Tb chives, fresh or dried - whatever you have
• sea salt flakes and freshly ground cracked black pepper

1. In a bowl, add your shredded cabbage and grated carrot and cheese...
2. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a clean jar, screw lid on and shake baby shake, then tip this glorious concoction over the willing and ready vegetables.
3. Toss with your hands and serve - yummmmmm! (Lennon and I just share it straight out of the bowl together, try it, it's fun!)

** This is just a simple version of the salad, but other things we have used before is half green cabbage/half red cabbage..thinly sliced celery...halved cherry tomatoes (red, yellow, tigers whatever)...toasted sesame seeds add an extra dimension too!
