Simple Coleslaw
For a side, salad, snack or on tacos!
A simple Coleslaw is so easy and versatile. Eat it on its own, I like to add nuts like almonds or pistachios, or add it to a buddha bowl (grains, protein – beans and meat/ fish, veggies! and some cabbage salad), add to a leaf salad, or taco like the Greek Inspired Smash Taco coming soon.
Why incorporate Simple Coleslaw?
Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable which then contains sulfur-rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound “sulforaphane” that helps detoxification process, overall health and has immune-boosting effects.
Cabbage improves digestion, helps you feel full, provides prebiotics that feed good bacteria in your gut and colon. Really a win, win! Cabbage is full of fiber with 70% insoluble making you fill full, improve bowel movements and 30% soluble helping lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar.
Sometimes I use red cabbage and yellow carrots, sometimes I use green cabbage and orange carrots. It’s great to use different colors of vegetables for a variety of phytonutrients – non-essential nutrients that are good for human health like carotene in orange vegetables.
