Fresh Coleslaw Detox Recipe
Coleslaw
1 bunch mustard greens
½ head Savoy cabbage
½ head purple cabbage
4 large carrots
1 yellow onion
Chopped, toasted almonds
(optional)
Sunflower seeds (optional)
Gently steam entire whole leaves of the mustard greens until just soft; drain and refrigerate. Julienne the carrots and place in a large salad bowl. Thinly slice the Savoy and purple cabbages, mince the onion; combine with carrots and chill. At serving time, stir desired amount of the Onion Garlic Dressing into the chilled cabbage blend. Cut the whole steamed mustard green leaves into 5-10 pieces and arrange on individual salad plates. Cover with a serving of the fresh coleslaw and top with toasted almonds and sunflower seeds.
Optional: add grated Fuji apple, walnuts, raisins, or cranberries for a sweet edge.
Dressing
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (cow, goat, or sheep)
2 teaspoons agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. Top the salad with the dressing and mix until evenly dressed.
