Slaws have a bad rap for being a messy mayo-filled bbq staple but I’m on a mission to resuscitate the slaw’s reputation and give it the good name it deserves.  This one here is full of good for you ingredients.  That hit of caraway seeds in the dressing is what really gives this meal a makeover.  Bring this slaw to your first summer BBQ and it will certainly re-set the standard for feel good food.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cabbage, shredded
• 1 apple, sliced
• ¼ cup sesame seeds or sliced almonds (optional)

Dressing

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

Thinly slice the cabbage and apples.  Using a madolin with greatly help as it can be hard to get the cabbage paper thin.  The thinner it is the better it will taste and the easier it will be to eat.

In a separate bowl (or jar) combine the ingredients for the dressing.  Mix very well to combine.

Pour as much of the dressing as you like over cabbage and apples then toss thoroughly.  (save the rest of the dressing for future use on grains, greens or as a marinade) Garnish with nuts or seeds.

***You could also sautée the cabbage and apples and serve this warm!***
