Macadamia Nut Curried Mayo with Cabbage Slaw
Slaw is a traditional raw favourite. We’ve jazzed it up with a macadamia nut mayonnaise, giving it a Hawaiian flavour.
Mayonnaise
1 raw (or coddled) farm-fresh egg
1 Tbsp (15 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp (10 mL) curry powder
1/4 tsp (1 mL) yellow mustard seeds
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) cayenne
1 cup (250 mL) unrefined macadamia nut oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slaw
2 cups (500 mL) thinly shredded Savoy cabbage
2 cups (500 mL) thinly shredded red cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
1/2 sweet onion, halved and very thinly sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped parsley
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped raw macadamia nuts
1/4 cup (60 mL) mixed sprouted beans*
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
To make mayonnaise: combine egg, lime juice, curry powder, mustard seeds, and cayenne in blender. Whirl until blended. Continuing to whirl, gradually add oil drop by drop, then in a slow steady stream until mixture is creamy. Add generous pinches of salt and pepper to taste. Mayonnaise will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Combine cabbages, carrots, onion, parsley, macadamia nuts, and sprouted beans in large bowl. Drizzle with a few tablespoons (approximately one-quarter) of macadamia nut mayonnaise, and gently toss to coat lightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
*Mixed sprouted beans can be found in the produce section of most grocery and natural health stores.

Worried about raw egg?
Substitute a coddled egg for the raw egg in this recipe. Coddling will warm the yolk and thicken its consistency.
- Immerse egg in warm water to bring to room temperature and prevent cracking.
- Place egg in small bowl or mug; pour boiling water over egg to cover. Let egg stand for exactly 1 minute.
- Run cold water into bowl or mug.
- Let egg stand for 10 minutes before using in recipe.
