I
must admit, my husband created this recipe! We had a cabbage salad at a little cafe on Bowen Island and he enjoyed it so much he asked if I might recreate it. When nothing materialized, he took matters into his own hands and came up with this. I can’t say I’ve changed it up that much from what his original recreation was! It’s so fast and easy to throw together, is such a great summer side to protein and starchy carb of nearly any form, and is as nourishing as it is delicious.
Makes 4-6 servings
Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 head red or green cabbage
- 3-4 large carrots, grated

- 1 bunch green onions (scallions), diced

- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2-3 Tbsp ginger juice OR 1 tsp ground ginger
- dash crushed red pepper flakes

Directions
- Toss the cabbage, carrots, red peppers and green onions together in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, ginger, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the veggies and mix thoroughly.

To deliciously nourishing food and stronger faster (more enjoyable) running… Cheers,
