Summer Slaw
July 2, 2024
Easy slaw is perfect for warm days.
Any color cabbage, herbs, fresh roots, olive oil, and something tangy makes this super simple and delicious.
Summer Slaw
Serves 2-4 as a side
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small or ½ of a medium cabbage, shredded (sliced very thin)
- 1-4 raw roots, grated or quartered and sliced thin (radish, daikon, beet, turnip, carrot, etc.)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced (sub garlic scapes or green garlic)
- Handful of fresh herbs, chopped (parsley, cilantro, basil, green onions, etc!)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Vinegar of choice or Lemon or Lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL ½ teaspoon honey
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large salad bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well (I use my hands and end up massaging the cabbage slightly as I mix, which helps it break down a little).
- Serve and enjoy! You can make ahead and keep covered in the fridge for a day, too.
NOTES:
- If you have other veggies or fruit (think grated apple, grapes, chopped pear, etc.) on hand, add them in too!
- Top with crushed nuts for some crunch.
- Feel free to add anything else in that you’d like! This recipe is meant as a guide — substitute as needed!
