Red Cabbage Raw Slaw

This recipe is sure to wow your taste buds! It’s great as a main course dish, a small plate, side dish or appetizer (so versatile and soooo delicious). The servings below are for 2 people so double up for more.

Ingredients:

• 5-6 cups shredded red cabbage
• 1/2 cup of shredded carrots
• 1/2 cucumber, chopped (and peeled if not organic)
• 1/4 cup or 1 handful sliced raw almonds
• 1 tablespoon raw agave (or blue agave) nectar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-3 tbsp raw tahini (if you are not 100% raw, use a spicy hummus of choice)
• Seasonings: Celtic salt, pepper, cayenne, cilantro

Directions:
1. Chop up red cabbage into small long pieces and place into bowl
2. Measure out 1/2 cup of shredded carrots and place into the same bowl
3. Add 1 tbs raw agave nectar and 1 tbs olive oil to coat ingredients
4. Mix well
5. Add in 2-3 tablespoons raw tahini or spicy hummus of your choice
6. Add in a pinch of celtic salt, a dash of pepper, cilantro and cayenne to taste
7. Mix ingredients well
8. Slice up your cucumbers and lay them out on your plate in a half circle
9. Pour mixed ingredients onto your plate, slightly overlapping the cucumbers
10. Top your meal by sprinkling sliced raw almonds

BONUS: If you want to get fancy, for presentation purposes, you can drizzle a little raw tahini across your cucumbers when you serve them on a plate

Something about the crunch of the almonds, carrots and red cabbage, mixed with the spices and the sweetness of the agave nectar along with the cooling effects of the cucumber just makes a party in your mouth! Enjoy!

   This recipe is awesome! I’m not usually a big fan of red cabbage, or at least that’s what I thought, but this recipe changed my mind. Just the perfect amount of sweetness, love it!
