About

This is a little like coleslaw, but it is lighter and has a more interesting flavor. A nut oil is called for here—be sure to use one made from roasted nuts—but you can use olive oil if you like. You can also substitute another type of nut for the pistachios, but be sure to toast whatever you choose.
