Delicious freebie recipes! My very favorite and original Thai coleslaw. Try this one and it might well become your favorite healthy recipe. I make this salad whenever I go on a potluck. It's always a hit. And people can never believe it's vegan and raw!
This salad is a simplified and adapted version from Thai Lettuce Wraps recipe in the Cookbook from Pure Food & Wine. A book full of delicious recipes from my favorite raw food restaurant in New York. Whenever you're in this restaurant, I highly recommend you try the real version too!

Tip
Last week, I made this recipe for a (cooked) potluck dinner. It was chosen as the yummiest recipe. Of course people were surprised this was a raw food dish. Raw food has so much more taste... This is always a winner and new to most people.
