Salad, slaw…eh, doesn’t matter what it’s called. This is a light, refreshing, cool dish that makes a great side, and took about 10 minutes. Make for a party, revise the ingredients, such a versatile and low calorie recipe. The entire bag of cabbage alone, 80 calories. Seriously.
Carrot Cabbage Slaw
- 5 large carrots, shredded fresh
- 1 bag of shredded cabbage (I used Trader Joe’s 10oz bag)
- Dried grapes…I mean raisins (Seth had dried grapes in the dehydrator)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 TBSP raw honey
- Kosher salt/pepp
Shred the carrots in a shredder, chopper, processor, by hand, whatever works. Place in a bowl with the entire bag of shredded cabbage. I added the rest of the dried grapes we had, which was probably a 1/2 cup (would’ve added a few more if we had them). I squeezed the juice of one lemon over the mixture, drizzled 2 TBSPs of raw honey over top, and sprinkled with salt/pepp. Tossed, and served (okay, I didn’t really serve, Seth took what he wanted, and then I ate the entire rest of the bowl, hee hee).
I would encourage you to try the shredded carrots raw. They really are very sweet, and the shredding just brings it out more.
What a beautiful salad to look at and it sounds amazing!
I’m partial to orange đŸ™‚ But seriously, shredded carrots, ROCK!
