Spring Slaw Recipe:

Cabbages, sliced!

After you grab all the stuff you need, get the knife or mandolin. If you don't know what a mandolin is, chances are you don't have one, so use some muscle and cut each of those little cabbages in half. Wrap some plastic wrap around the other halves and stick the rest of each head in that bottom drawer in the fridge, the crisper. Duh dun dun! Putting something in there besides beer. Back to the cabbages on the cutting board, cut it into fairly thin slices. The green cabbage contains some, but the purple cabbage is more densely packed with nutrients.

1/4 Cup Cilantro

Next step is to rinse and dry the cilantro between paper towels. Then chop it into course pieces. The smell is so good!! Cilantro is full of antioxidants. It can help decrease your chances of obesity and heart disease. It's also really good for your skin and hair. Then put it in the bowl with the cabbage.

Lime Juice

Olive Oil

Then add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil as well as 1 1/2 Tablespoons of lime juice. Lime has so many healthy benefits. It can help to decrease chances of getting kidney stones. It also contains calcium and folate, which is beneficial for both menopausal women and women who are trying to get pregnant. 

Toss it all together. And Vwah La, it is done! Only ten minutes and you can have a great tasting snack.

IT IS DONE!
