Raw Marinated Cabbage Salad

      This week I turn to cabbage. Cabbage is well know for its healing properties. It is high in calcium, sulphur and vitamin C and E. It is used as a remedy for indigestion, helping to rejuvenate the digestive tract, and skin; especially in the form of sauerkraut.

      Raw cabbage can be tough and not so desirable to chew, this recipe is top notch because the cabbage is crunchy yet soft and so yummy! You can make it in the morning and set it in the fridge for lunch or dinner, or make it an hour before you serve dinner. I always make lots to save for the next day when its even more flavourful!

Raw Marinated Cabbage Salad

1 small purple cabbage

1 medium zucchini

1/4 cup raisins

1/8 cup sesame seeds

1/8 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Dressing:

3 Tbps sesame oil

3 Tbps Olive oil

1/4 cup Braggs amino seasoning (if you don't have this...get it, I use it every day in a variety of dishes as a healthy alternative to soy sauce)

1 Jalapeno seeded and chopped

3 cloves of garlic diced

juice of 1/2 lime

1 Tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup 

In a food processor using the slicing blade, put cabbage through in pieces small enough to fit in the feeder. Alternatively, chop cabbage up finely, place in large bowl. Quarter lengthwise the zucchini then thinly slice, they should look triangular, place in blow. mix in all other salad ingredients. In a small bowl stir together all dressing ingredients and pour over salad. Place in fridge and let marinate for at least one hour, or let the flavours sit all day.

Hope you enjoy this delicious easy salad!
