CREAMY MEXICAN STYLE SLAW

April 3, 2019 By Kris Kelly

Difficulty deciding what to serve with your weekly Mexican meal? No worries! This week, we’ve added a Creamy Mexican Style Slaw with a delightful crunch to our standard black beans.

Good News…

Mexican slaw is versatile! This crunchy style salad pairs perfectly with just about any vegan sandwich. We love stacking a mound onto our Curried Nuttzo Chickpea Salad and serving it all up on a piece of toasted, gluten-free sourdough bread. Open faced-sandwiches are the best!

The dressing used for our slaw also pairs nicely with a spicy greens salad, chopped Mediterranean salad or used as a dip for raw veggies.

Benefits of Cabbage…

  • It’s cheap. A big nutritional bang for your buck!
  • Full of bone-loving vitamin K.
  • Rich in vitamin C.
  • Contains powerful antioxidants: choline, beta-carotene, lutein and quercetin. Lutein is especially beneficial for the eyes. Something we all need after sitting in front of a computer screen all day.
