Apple and Cabbage Coleslaw

Written By: Chris - Apr• 21•14

There is a local restaurant that makes an apple slaw that I really like.  Following a viewing of one of Guy Fieri’s shows where he had prepared one similar, I had to make some herunterladen!  When I went on line and looked at Guy’s recipe, I decided to wing it and prepare my own version based on what ingredients that I had on hand in my fridge sims 3 downloaden op laptop.  I typically buy green cabbage, but like the color of the purple.    No matter what color cabbage you choose, you can’t go wrong as they are both very low in calories and high in fiber and nutrients herunterladen.  Eating just one cup of either one provides four percent of the recommended daily intake of eight vitamins and minerals.  Both types of cabbage contain vitamin A in the form of the carotenoids beta-carotene, and such netflix movies download like many.  Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that can also be converted into the vitamin A you need for vision and to keep your skin and immune system healthy.  I’ve read that red cabbage has 10 times more vitamin A than green cabbage herunterladen.  None the less, this is a tasty simple salad.  Next time I think I would add more apple because it was so light and refreshing!

*A note on Agave, which seems to have become one of my preferred sweeteners as a health-conscious consumer in the past year or so…  Seems the more I look into things, the more I’m less and less dazzled by words like “natural” arma 3.  I’m dumbfounded with recent research on how our wheat is genetically modified, but I’ll save that for another day.  I wasn’t thrilled when I recently read that US food regulators do not  legally define the term “natural” and it’s most often left up to the manufacture how they want to use it.  We all need to keep in mind that the goal of the manufactures is to sell more product and you should know that Agave is processed just like other sugars, so it really isn’t any better for you than other sugars.  It’s all so confusing, isn’t it!

Enjoy the salad anyways, because it tastes great!
Cheers!
