Carrot Beet Ginger Coleslaw

It’s Tuesday night and that means Farmer’s Market on Alvarado Street in Monterey. I just stopped in for some field greens and ended up with field greens, yellow and green beans, candy striped beets, carrots, and celery.

This morning I had visited the Silva Sausage processing plant in San Jose, so dinner was going to involve garlic chicken apple sausage and the quinoa I made the night before.

After feeding the kids I peeled and shredded the beets, carrots and some ginger and made carrot beet coleslaw for tomorrow. It was good (based on my quality checks), the only draw back was I went a little heavy on the ginger, and will pare that down next time.
