Labor Day Cole Slaw Salad

I am calling this red slaw recipe “Labor Day Cole Slaw Salad” because I made this over the holiday weekend and got a lot of compliments and requests for the recipe. I prefer to use red cabbage because it has more antioxidants than its white/green sisters. You don’t have to use honey, agave or maple syrup but the sweet addition works really well with the tartness of the lemon juice.

Ingredients:

1 small head of very thinly shredded red cabbage

2 shredded carrots

2-3 Tablespoons of lemon juice or pomegranate vinegar

1-2 teaspoons of honey, agave or maple syrup

3-6 tablespoons of mayonnaise

½ bunch of fresh dill, parsley or cilantro

salt

pepper

Directions:

Add shredded cabbage to a stainless steel or glass bowl

Using a stainless steel ladle, meat hammer or a potato masher, “beat” the cabbage to soften it

Add all the other ingredients and mix well

Adjust the mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy!
