Healthy Red Cabbage Coleslaw




I'm an indecisive shopper. I pick things up, put them down, stare blankly at the vegetable selection trying to decide what I'm going to cook that day. I have conversations with my fridge and cupboards.

So it was with hesitation that I decided to make coleslaw... But I'm enjoying every mouthful as I write!

This is a simple recipe, but so good for you! It couldn't be farther from commercial coleslaw if it tried. The veggies aren't dripping with mayonnaise with the calories to match, and it actually comes in at under 100 kcals for a decent bowl.

Serves 4 as a lunch/generous side

1/2 small red cabbage
2 sticks of celery
2 carrots
1 red onion
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp english mustard
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
sea salt to taste

Slice the cabbage, celery and onion finely. I used my magimix to do this, making it a 5 minute job at most!
Peel and grate your carrots.
Chuck eveything in a bowl, mix well and season.

That's it!
