Coleslaw

This gorgeous salad is a feast for the eyes. Made with colorful and vibrant yet humble vegetables, this salad is a great go-to when you have extra cabbage and carrots in the fridge to use. The coleslaw is delicious eaten right after making it, or it may be even better after the vegetables have had time to marinate and soften in the dressing, which makes it a great option to pack into lunch boxes or enjoy as leftovers.

Cabbage in the fresh, raw state has a highly impactful sulfur compound that can reach the thyroid and help gas out viruses such as Epstein-Barr. Fresh cabbage’s sulfur compound can also enter the liver, spleen, and pancreas, gassing out and smoking out other various pathogens.

Coleslaw

Ingredients:

• 3 cups shredded purple cabbage
• 3 cups shredded green cabbage
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• ½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp finely chopped ripe jalapeño
• ⅓ cup chopped green onion (green part only)
• ⅓ cup pepitas/pumpkin seeds (optional)

Dressing:

• 3 tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tbsps raw honey
• ½ garlic clove, finely grated
• ¼ tsp cayenne
• Sea salt, to taste (optional)

Directions:

Combine the shredded purple cabbage, shredded green cabbage, and shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.

Add the finely chopped cilantro leaves, finely chopped jalapeño, chopped green onions, and pepitas (if using) to the bowl. Toss everything together to distribute the ingredients evenly. Set aside.

Whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, raw honey, grated garlic, cayenne, and sea salt (if using) in a small bowl.

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture. Gently toss the salad to ensure that the dressing coats all the vegetables and ingredients evenly.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a bit more lemon juice, honey, cayenne, or salt to achieve the perfect balance of flavors. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish or bowl. Serve immediately.

Serves 4-6

Recipe Notes:

• You can adjust the amount of jalapeño and cayenne to control the level of spiciness in the coleslaw. If you prefer less heat, reduce the quantities or omit them altogether.
• While high-quality sea salt or mountain rock salt is an optional inclusion in this recipe, the recipe is more healing without salt. Over time, you may wish to reduce or exclude the salt.
