Creamy, Mayo-Free Coleslaw

   I really love coleslaw. It's great in the summer for picnics, and for BBQ potlucks, but I just honestly love it all the time! I make a batch of this every week, and I don't share it (yup, I just admitted that!), and it's gone in a day or two. I brought it to a friends house a while ago, and we polished it off waiting for our wings to come out of the oven. My husband came in and caught us red handed, but he let it go...we must have seemed scary devouring all that coleslaw on our own....anywho, this tasty dish is mayo-free (in case you didn't catch it from the title!) sugar free, and Paleo friendly.
   The Good Kind of Crazy recently posted another coleslaw that, like mine, is mayo-free, but uses hummus as the creaminess. Yummy.
   So, whatever you do, don't assume that to have a nice, creamy coleslaw you need mayo. That is false. 

Creamy, mayo-Free Coleslaw

Ingredients:

• 1/2 very ripe Avocado
  
• 1/4 Cup lemon juice (approx. 2 lemons)
• 1/4 Cup olive oil
• 2-4 Garlic cloves, crush (depending on what kind of zing you prefer)
• 1/4 Red onion, diced
• 1 bag of coleslaw mix (or you can shred your own cabbage). The mix I use has green and red cabbage, as well as some carrots.

Method:

1. In a large bowl mash up the avocado really well with a fork.
2. Put the next 4 ingredients in, and blend well. 
3. Empty the bag of coleslaw into the bowl, and gently mix unit the dressing is covering all of the coleslaw. 

   This will taste great right away, but tastes even better a day or two after (if you can wait that long!).    

   And that's it! It's simple to make, and tastes so gosh darn yummy. If you want it to be creamier, feel free to add the whole avocado. 
    I actually love this coleslaw so much I even eat it for breakfast (with a side of 2 hardboiled eggs), I know it's weird, but that's me!
