1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. tri color pepper

3 Tbsp. ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)

1 Tbsp. Lakanto sugar**

2 Tbsp. Organic sunflower oil

 

Directions:

In a large bowl combine, red and green cabbage, carrot, green onion, celery, sesame seeds and almonds.

In a mason jar combine ACV, sunflower oil, Lakanto, salt, pepper and mustard. Cover with lid, tighten and shake till ingredients are mixed.
