Summer Salad Recipes - Cabbage Collard Slaw

Salad Ingredients:

1 head of cabbage (red or green (or a mix!!)), thinly sliced

1 bunch of collards, thinly sliced

Optional:

1 sweet onion, thinly sliced

1-2 Granny Smith apple(s), thinly sliced

1-2 carrots, shredded or thinly sliced using a peeler

2 tablespoons of herbs (I like cilantro or tarragon)

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4-1/3 cup of raw, organic apple cider vinegar

1/4-1/3 cup of EVOO

1-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

black pepper to taste

hot sauce to taste

Process:

1) Combine cabbage, collards and carrots (if using) in large bowl.

2) Combine dressing ingredients in bowl and add any optional ingredients to soak in dressing for 5-10 minutes.

3) Pour dressing and optional ingredients into large bowl and toss well.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to settle and mix.

4) Sprinkle anything additional on top when serving - I sprinkled feta cheese one day and chopped sardines the next.  You can mix and match for additional protein, fat or other.
