We challenge you to name a nutrient that’s not packed into this delicious side dish. Count vitamin K (great for bone and blood health), vitamin C (hello, antioxidant benefits!), complex B vitamins (critically important for every cell in your body), manganese (key for blood sugar regulation), dietary fiber (helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers risk of diabetes and heart disease), calcium (bone and nerve health) and a bunch more. All that in a simple slaw!

  • 1 small head savoy or green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, such as Braeburn or McIntosh, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 2 tablespoons coconut chips
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, pomegranate seeds and coconut chips. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, toss well, and serve.
