Try something different for your 4th of July BBQ – this is a light and refreshing cabbage slaw with Middle Eastern flavors of lemon, mint and pistachios.  It’s great with grilled fish, chicken or kebabs.

• 14 oz. bag of coleslaw mix or 5-6 cups finely shredded green cabbage
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
• 1/3 cup unsalted toasted pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped

Dressing:

• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tsp. dried mint
• 1/2 tsp. ground sumac
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 4 T olive oil
• pinch of sugar

Smash garlic clove with the back of a knife to bruise and combine with other dressing ingredients.  Let dressing sit for a bit,  remove garlic clove, and mix with shredded cabbage. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour to an hour. Add in fresh mint and toasted pistachios. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
