We cannot sing the praises of homemade ‘slaw enough! This Colorful Coleslaw with shredded red cabbage, nappa cabbage and carrots is crunchy, tangy and a complete powerhouse!💪🏼🙌🏼 Cabbage is chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and gut-friendly to boot. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which is super important for your immune system. Kind of what’s needed right now at the tail end of winter, with everyone feeling a bit run down. Serve it as a side with dinner or have it for lunch with an egg and some seeds sprinkled on top. We’ve used our homemade Mediterranean Aioli for the coleslaw dressing, but feel free to use store bought.
