Mayo Free Spicy Coleslaw with Pasta

Mayo Free Spicy Coleslaw with Pasta is another fabulous way to use Chickapea in your salads this summer!  Restaurants typically serve coleslaw with lots of mayo but this recipe will give you a plateful of nutrition, oodles flavor and more by adding our high protein pasta.

I’m all about the spice so I used jalapeno pepper along with some Dijon and a little garlic.  Everything must have garlic, right?  If your family is hesitant about the heat, you can cut it in half or eliminate it entirely.  There’s still lots of flavor in this yummy dressing!

Did you know that cabbage:

  • Is incredibly nutritious but very low in fat and calories? One hundred grams of leaves = 25 calories
  • Is an excellent source of Vitamin C, B1, B5, B6 and VitaminK
  • Contains minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium
