Cabbage Slaw

I wanted something crispy to put on my Chicken Tacos Al Carbon and thought of a cabbage slaw. This turned out really great and I will make it again. I love the slaw dressing and plan to use it on other veggies as a marinade and on salads.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 small red onion, charred on grill and then coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, roasted or charred and coarsely chopped
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 cup canola oil
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp. fresh basil leaves, chiffonade 
1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients, except cabbage and herbs, in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dressing can be made ahead during the day.

2. Place cabbage and herbs in a large bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and let sit 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Don't allow it to soak for too long otherwise the cabbage will get soggy.
