Slaw is a traditional raw favourite. We’ve jazzed it up with a macadamia nut mayonnaise.

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 some 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.
