Notes

  1. I use a pre-made coleslaw mix to make this but feel free to shred your own cabbage and carrots instead.
  2. If you don't have cashew butter you can use almond butter, tahini or peanut butter instead 
  3. If you want a sweeter dressing add 2-3 more dates.
  4. This coleslaw tastes best if left in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
