i always have really good intentions of coming up with something special to make when i buy heads of cabbage at the grocery store. yet, usually about 2 weeks later i throw it out when it's started going brown because i still haven't used it. i meant to, but i sort of got carried away with other things, and really didn't know what the flip to do with it anyways... let's face it, we don't always have 2 hours to make cabbage rolls. so, presto! our cabbage worries can fall by the wayside as we start making a coleslaw that nourishes our bodies and takes minutes to make! (seriously, i just made it in 5 minutes, chopping and all. that even included inventing the recipe. yep, i'm that good ;) what i'm saying here is you have that much time to make it, i promise... and if you don't, you better hire a personal assistant or rework your own abilities to organize because that's just bananas!)
Coleslaw Salad Dressing
ingredients:
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (eat this all the time, it's amazing for you!)
3 tbsp oil (hemp, olive, something good for you)
2 tsp sugar (fairly traded, please)
s&p to taste
step by step:
1. add all ingredients to a bowl and give it a good mix, until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
2. toss over a chopped head of cabbage, any other veggies you might want to add (broccoli, i'm looking at you), as well as some seeds for added nutrition, crunch, and fun. i used pumpkin and sunflower seeds in mine, but do as you like! i chopped up some fresh parsley at the end and found it really added something special to the salad.
3. eat away and store unused salad for leftovers later today or tomorrow. i love that cabbage doesn't get mushy like lettuce, so leaving it to marinade only makes it better!
enjoy this quick and easy salad whenever you're short on time or looking for a satisfying way to short-cut your cooking for the day.
