Cabbage Crunch ∴ Salad

Cabbage was always on the dinner table growing up. Raw, boiled, roasted, or mixed with something else. At times I really couldn’t stand seeing it all the time, but now I love it. I especially prefer it raw, the crunch from cabbage is out of this world and filling. I wanted to share this easy recipe with you.

You will need

½ Small Red Cabbage Head

½ Small Green Cabbage Head

3 Tbsp Sesame Seeds

2 tbsp Sesame Oil

3 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

1 tbsp Dried Cilantro

¼ tsp Coarse Salt

½ tsp Black pepper

Chop your cabbage and put in a large bowl. Add the rest of your ingredients, mix all together and enjoy. I don’t like to add too much salt to my food, feel free to add more if you’d like.

Yummy Broccoli Salad * Mayo Free

I have always seen the Mayo doused version of this salad and the look of it used to make my stomach turn. YUCK! Sorry I just have a thing for mayo, not really a fan. I can only take it in small...like really small amounts.

Anyhow so my local health food store had a vegan version to this, so I decided to tweak it and add my own spin to it.

You will need:
1 1/2 C Raw Broccoli
1/8 Cup Organic Raisins
1/4 C Fresh shredded carrots
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 Raw Cashews
1 1/2 Tbsp of Greek Yogurt
1 tsp of Rice Vinegar

In a small container add your cashews and fill with water. Place them in the microwave for 1 minute. This will soften them up and bring out that buttery flavor. You can have the Broccoli raw, but if it gives you an unpleasant audible reaction( you know what I mean), then you can opt to cook it a little to help break down the vegetable and aide in digestion. But don't cook it too long you still want the CRUNCH in this Salad.

Mix all your ingredients in a bowl, cover and let sit in your fridge for 5-10 minutes. Serve and Enjoy
