Earthy red beans and crunchy cabbage make this vibrant coleslaw both satisfying and fresh. Rosemary adds an unexpected herbal note that pairs beautifully with creamy tahini, while Dijon and apple cider vinegar keep things bright. Use green cabbage for contrast, or red for a striking, all-red salad.

Tips

Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use a gluten-free brand of Dijon mustard.
