Red Cabbage Slaw

Eating a variety of colours in your diet doesn't just make your plate look appealing, it is healthy too. That's why I love Red Cabbage! It isn't red so I don't know why this name has stuck but the vibrant purple colour only means one thing. It's packed with nutrients! Particularly flavonoids which are cancer fighting, Vitamin C and K and it also has lots of fibre and minerals.

Using a sharp knife slice the red cabbage into strips, having removed the outer layers and de stalked it.

Grate the carrot and apple.

Red Cabbage is packed with flavonoids which are cancer fighting, Vitamin C and K and has lots of fibre and minerals.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away! 

Mustard is high in magnesium and selenium which help fight asthma and chest congestion, slows ageing, are anti-inflammatory (can even be rubbed onto joints!), stimulates hair growth and relieves constipation.

Serving Suggestions:

This will keep for at least a week in the fridge. I make up a batch and put it in a sealed container to add to any meal as a great healthy side.

This would be delicious as a side for a BBQ or Burger. Check out my recipes HERE and HERE for Paleo BBQ and Paleo Burger recipes.
