CABBAGE SALAD

When I make a meal, it generally consists of three elements: a hearty bean or lentil dish, a nice carbohydrate like brown rice, pasta or potatoes and a salad. The salad is a must. I have lately started my meal prep by making the salad. Fresh raw food is perhaps the most important and health-giving part of the meal.
 
One way to make sure you get those great nutrients into your body is to start eating the meal with the salad, make it the starter. Fill up with salad, then eat the rest. I have found the more of the raw salad I eat, the more I crave it. Raw fresh food is so life giving.
 
And so easy to make - cabbage, red pepper and red onion… voila!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 to half a green cabbage
• 1 red pepper
• ½ red onion
• 1 to 2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tbsp of vegan mayo ( optional )
• A pinch of salt

 
METHOD 

1. Finely chop the red onion.
2. Spring a pinch of salt over the onion and mix it up.
3. Using a mandolin or just a good sharp knife, finely chop the cabbage and the red pepper.
4. Add the tbsp of vegan mayo, the apple cider vinegar and the olive oil and toss it all well.
5. Now taste to see if you want a little more salt or vinegar .

 
The result is a very crunchy lively salad that will go with any meal. The red pepper gives it a little natural sweetness, the onion for flavour.
 
Bon Appétit.
  
Happy Days!
