So pretty, isn't it? This was actually the result of my need to use a few things in the fridge that might otherwise go bad if I didn't figure something out... soon!
I've been on a Candida-killing diet for the last three weeks (without cheating - YAY, me!). That means no sugar, no grains, no alcohol, no vinegar. No sugar means none. The only thing I can use is stevia, because it actually comes from a plant. No grains means: no flour, no corn... That's a hard one.The vinegar might sound easy, until you realize that vinegar is in almost EVERY salad dressing, and that's pretty much all I eat! Salad! Luckily, I CAN have organic apple cider vinegar, so I make do with that.
Well, mayonnaise and mustard both have vinegar, too, so I have to make my own with lemon juice. So I used my mayo recipe in this slaw. If you choose to remake it, you can use regular mayo with probably 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of ground red pepper.
The flatbread recipe came from a need for something carb-y, but without wheat or corn. It's very simple!
Enjoy!

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
