Looking for a simple side dish to take to that BBQ or picnic? Enter the Red Cabbage Salad. You can easily whip up this nutritious, filling and colourful salad in 10 minutes or less (that's a win in my books). You'll likely have most of the ingredients on hand so it's perfect for a no fuss, last minute invite to a summer gathering.
Ingredients (use local and organic when possible):
- Half (or whole, depending on how many people you're serving) head of red cabbage, shredded
- Juice of freshly squeezed lemon
- Handful of raisins
- 1/4 C olive oil
- Pinch of sea salt & dash of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 of a crisp apple (Jonagold works well), cut into chunks
- 1/4 C fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 2-3 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
Method:
Place all ingredients into a large bowl except for the olive oil and lemon juice. Toss the ingredients to distribute evenly. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on top, toss again. It's ready to serve!
