kcalThis dish provides so many health benefits and it’s simple to make and saves well in the refrigerator for 2 days. I love using cabbage for salads in place of greens because whole cabbage stays fresh for up to 10 days in the frig. The fiber in cabbage will help to balance your blood sugar which can prevent your skin from Advanced Glycation End Products, which are lipids or proteins in skin and other organs that become damaged when they’re exposed to too much sugar. The phytochemicals in cabbage provide antioxidant protection to your skin to keep it fresh.
Ingredients
1/2 head Napa cabbage, shredded
1/2 head Red cabbage, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
1 handful of parsley, shredded
1 handful of raw sunflower seeds
1 clove of fresh garlic, finely chopped
Sprinkling of red pepper flakes
3-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce or Bragg’s liquid aminos (for saltiness/to taste)
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin, cold-pressed olive oil
Directions
- Mix everything together well in large serving bowl and enjoy. This saves for 2 days in the refrigerator so feel free to make extra for the following days’ lunches. This goes well with a savory meal for a fresh side dish, or you can even add it to a green salad or use it on tacos. I like eating it alone because it’s so delicious, easy-to-make, and healthy.
