Recipe by Vidya Living

INGREDIENTS

1 medium-sized head of red cabbage, outer leaves and core removed, finely shredded
½ medium-sized head of green cabbage, outer leaves and core removed, finely shredded
3 carrots, peeled and finely shredded
1 c cilantro, finely chopped
5-6 nori sheets, chopped
½ cup dulse flakes
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp flax oil
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari, a wheat-free soy sauce)
4 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
2 tsp raw honey
2 tbsp sesame seeds
pink salt/pepper to taste

PROCESS

If you have a food processor, use the grating attachment to shred the cabbage and carrots.  Otherwise, use your knife to finely chop the cabbage and hand grater to shred the carrots.  Chop your cilantro and toss with cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, make the dressing by combining olive oil, flax oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos and honey. Whisk well.  Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, add sesame seeds, nori and dulse flakes and toss. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in fridge for 1-2 hours to marinate.  To serve, garnish with an extra sprinkle of sesame seeds or gomashio and a sprig of cilantro.

Note: If you’re on the Candida Diet or trying to keep it sugar-free, omit the honey.
