One of my favorite things to eat is this new Organic Slaw I've come up with. It started out with only a few ingredients in the beginning, and now it's burst into this delicious medley of raw fruits, veggies, and fresh seasoning. No added salt. No added sugar. Nothing but raw foods and their deliciousness. It can be eaten as a meal, or used as a nutrient rich side.
Organic Raw Slaw (feeds 4-8 people)
2 c. Broccoli Slaw (you may buy it pre-packaged or cut the broccoli stems yourself when using the heads in another dish)
1/2 c. Dark Green Kale Leaves - sliced into strips, center vein removed
1 Stalk Celery - thinly sliced
1 Sm Cucumber - cut lengthwise in quarters, and sliced into 1/2" cubes
1/2 Orange peeled and cut into small cubes (set other 1/2 aside for dressing)
1/2 c. Dried Cranberries
1/4 c. Fire & Ice Radish - sliced paper thin
2" Fresh Ginger - peeled
1 Tbsp. Chia Seed - set aside
2 Tbsp. Raw Sesame Seed - set aside
In a large bowl, layer broccoli, kale, celery, cucumber, oranges, cranberries, and radishes. Grate ginger directly onto other ingredients. Sprinkle chia and sesame over top. Set aside. Make dressing.
Dressing
3 Tbsp. Avocado Oil
Orange juice from remaining
2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, juice, and vinegar.
Pour over slaw, cover, and refridgerate overnight. Serve chilled. Feeds 4 hungry people or 8 people as a side.
** Consider adding cooked chicken, raw almond halves, or tempeh for protein. Also, instead of orange, use wedges of an entire tangerine, and the juice of another tangeri 201ne for the dressing. Get creative. Raisins instead of cranberries. Throw in some fresh berries if you have them.
