Is Red Cabbage Healthier Than White/Green Cabbage?

Both varieties are great and need to be included in our diet. However, red cabbage is richer in vitamin A, contains more antioxidants by 30%, and has more vitamin C than an orange!

The Ingredients

• Red cabbage, carrot, green chili or jalapeno.
• Spring onions, and parsley.
• For the dressing:
• Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar or lemon
• Maple syrup, cayenne or chili powder, garlic, black pepper, and salt

How to Make Red Cabbage Slaw

• Prepare the veggies. Start by shredding the cabbage and the carrots. I used my Japanese shredder to shred the cabbage.
• Dice the green chili or jalapeno, and chop the spring onions.
• For the sauce, mince the garlic and place all of the sauce in a small jar and shake until it’s well combined.

• In a large bowl, add the veggies and toss with the dressing until combined. Let the slaw chill in the fridge before serving.
