Ingredients:
2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
1 large carrot, julienned or grated
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional for a detox boost)
½ tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp sesame seeds or crushed peanuts (optional topping)
Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the vegetables: Shred the green and red cabbage finely using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. Julienne or grate the carrot.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ginger (if using).
Combine: Toss the shredded cabbage and carrot in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over and mix well until evenly coated.
Let it rest: Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes to soften and absorb the flavors.
Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds or crushed peanuts on top for added texture and garnish with your favorite fresh herbs.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish works great as a light lunch, a side to grilled proteins, or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low-carb wrap.
