This is an awesome twist on the traditional coleslaw side salad. It skips the mayo altogether, and has a much more interesting flavour profile. Naturally sweetened with pear, but no one will pick it’s in there!
Sesame Slaw
Ingredients
- 40 g sesame seeds a mix of black and white seeds is beautiful!
- 40 g olive oil

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 130 g pear or apple, roughly chopped
- 300 g cabbage roughly chopped
- 180 g carrots roughly chopped
- 100 g snow peas trimmed, halved
Instructions
- Toast sesame seeds in a small frying pan until golden brown. Remove from heat, set aside.
- Place oil, vinegar, tahini, salt and 30g of the pear in the mixer bowl. Blitz 7 seconds/speed 7. Some of the pear may still be chunky, that's ok.

- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds to serve.

I love sharing here and in my cookbooks my healthy, delicious recipes (of course the odd treat too!) Whether you’re looking to ignite your thermo mojo, or just after some new, really tasty family friendly recipes, there really is something here for everyone
This was so easy to make and is so tasty! I used grapeseed oil and apple as no olive oil or pears in the house. I love that there’s no onion, spring onion, or garlic. This is perfect – thank you!
Wow! I Ann not a salad person but this was amazing! Love your work xo
I am not lol, I hate auto correct
I made this slaw with apple and a combination of different cabbages to accompany sliders yesterday and it was a huge hit with my guests.
I love turning people’s heads with Thermobexta recipes. The most common exclamations are “this tastes so fresh!” And “so delicious and so healthy!” This recipe was no exception.
If you’ve not made this healthy, tasty spin on a Coleslaw before, give it a try!
Love this Bec!!!! so different from the conventional coleslaw!! the sesame seeds are lovely on top too. Thankyou !
I made this salad to go with our BBQ instead of normal boring old coleslaw I always make and it was so yummy! I didn’t have an tahini so I used natural greek yoghur instead. Love the nuttiness of the sesame seeds and the sweetness of the pear & snow peas! Will be a regular on our table. Thanks Bec!
This has been a huge hit. Delicious
Yum this is fabulous, I used half green half purple cabbage for different colours. Love the dressing for a change from egg mayo!
Sooo good! Perfect balance of the dressing ingredients. I used capsicum instead of carrot, and apple instead of pear. Beautiful nutty flavor from the sesame seeds.
Thanks for a delicious salad…will be making a regular appearance at our dinner table!
This sounds divine, I cannot wait to make it!
