I only made one substitution to Nanny Florida’s coleslaw recipe: She uses 1 whole green cabbage, and I use 1/2 green cabbage and 1/2 red cabbage.

I love carrot slaw, but the not the type you see at most picnics. You know, the one with too much mayonnaise and raisins in it (I really dislike raisins). I want my carrot slaw to be crunchy and cleansing to my palette.

Cut apple into julienne strips and immediately soak in lemon juice for 1 minutes. Toss apple and carrot sticks together. Mix together lemon juice, parsley, sugar, mustard, celery seed, and sea salt. Pour dressing over carrot slaw and toss to coat.

Hubster is working late this week, so that means I can indulge my palette… time for meatless dishes and seafood…

Red Cabbage Salad

Red Cabbage Salad

Red Cabbage Salad Ingredients:
shredded red cabbage, edamame, green apples, shredded carrots, sesame seeds, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, honey, sesame oil, fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked pepper (I used a four-color peppercorn blend)

Red Cabbage Salad Directions:
Add edamame, water and salt to saucepan and bring to boil. Simmer over medium heat for a few minutes. Remove pan from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Remove beans from pods and set aside to cool. Chop, cut or shred green apples, immediately place into lemon juice. Whisk together sesame seeds, rice wine vinegar, sesame seed oil, honey, salt & pepper. Toss together carrots, cabbage and edamame. Pour vinaigrette over cabbage salad and mix. Let rest & chill. Toss in apples just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.

*Serve this red cabbage salad as a side dish at a BBQ or picnic.

Non-veggie suggestion: Place  layer of the red cabbage salad on plate. and add grilled ginger shrimp or chicken.
