I LOVE making a cabbage-based slaw as a side all year round because you can always find in-season ingredients and it can basically go along with any recipe. Cabbage is loaded with nutrients including vitamin C and folate, fiber and is supportive of liver and gut health. I make a big batch of this at least once a week to eat as a side or garnish. Here is my go-to recipe. I swap out ingredients depending on what I have on hand. ⁠

Prep time: 20ish minutes

Yield: 8-10 servings

Ingredients:

• Red, green, napa or savoy cabbage, chopped - 6-8 cups⁠

• Bunch of cilantro, chopped fine - more if you like cilantro⁠!

• 1/2 - 1 red onion, sliced thinly (depends on how much onion you like!)

• Bunch of red radishes or large daikon, thinly sliced into half-moons⁠

• Sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds- as many as you'd like for color, interest, and flavor⁠

• Apple cider vinegar, a splash

• Juice of 2 limes or lemons⁠

• Extra-virgin olive oil or Avocado oil, a few glugs, or about 1/4 cup⁠

• Sea salt and pepper to taste⁠

Directions:

Combine all veggies in a large bowl, add spices and liquids, combine, taste, and refine as needed.⁠⁠

Other potential additions or swaps:

• Sliced or shredded carrots

• Chopped celery

• Thinly sliced cucumbers

• Chopped nuts

• Seeds⁠

• Chopped dried fruits⁠

• Chopped apple

• Chopped pear

• Chopped or grated garlic⁠

• Thinly sliced green onion⁠

• Different spices⁠

• Different kinds of vinegar
