Cabbage Slaw Salad

This salad is pretty, crunchy, and delicious!  It could easily be a complete vegetarian meal or a yummy side dish. It is terrific served with barbeque, or pairs beautifully with fish, and livens up a cheesburger meal.  I particularly like to serve it in bowls with steamed white rice and my carnitas (recipe on the blog).   My kids love to wrap it all in a tortilla.

 

Ingredients

• 1/2 small green or purple cabbage, sliced as thin as possible and chopped
• 1 red apple, sliced as thin as possible and chopped
• 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
• 1/3 cup salted peanuts, chopped
• 1 overflowing Tablespoon honey
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

• Chop all cabbage, apples and nuts and add them to a medium size bowl.
• Mix honey, lemon juice, salt and chili flakes.
• Pour honey mixture over the cabbage slaw and mix thoroughly. Enjoy!

Notes

• When I serve this salad with carnitas and rice, I usually leave out the nuts.
