YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Shoshi’s Red Cabbage Slaw

My friend Shoshi made this up!  She says that the longer you let it marinate, the better it gets.  It was delicious on day one, and tasted better on day two, and even better on day three.  I don’t think there was any left after that.


Ingredients:
One-half head of red cabbage
One apple, green or red
One-half can of chick peas 
2-3 broccoli stalks, peeled and diced
2 carrots, grated
1/2 cup golden raisins

Dressing: 
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Slice up one-half head of red cabbage very thinly, core and dice the apple, and place in a large bowl with the chick peas, broccoli stalks, carrots, and golden raisins.  The raisins will provide some nice sweetness to balance the tartness of the vinegar.

Mix together the vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and then place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2-4 hours.  Remember: the longer it marinates, the better.
