Cabbage Salad

This is a delicious cabbage salad. It is made with purple cabbage one of the cruciferous vegetables and is anti-cancer food. The phytonutrient anthocyanin gives it its purple color and anti- inflammatory and anti-cancer benefit. It is high in vitamin C, calcium and other minerals. This is one of my favorite easy dishes. I came up with this version and combination of apple, raisins and pecans. It is a sweet and savory dish and is great as a main course or as a side dish. It is a great dish to serve or bring for any gathering or occasion.

1/2 head purple cabbage shredded

1 apple shredded

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup pecans chopped

1/4 cup cilantro chopped

1/4 cup celery chopped (optional)

2 tbsp cashew butter

4 tbsp water

1/2 tsp sea salt

Shred apple and cabbage. Add raisins and chopped pecans. Add lightly chopped cilantro. Add celery if desired. Mix and blend well. In a small bowl, mix cashew butter and water until makes a pourable dressing. Add more water if needed.

Toss all together and serve or chill. Double recipe if making for a crowd. This is colorful, delicious and nutritious dish that everyone will love.
