Have you ever wanted fresh fruits and vegetables in a non-heavy kind of slaw? One that isn't mayonnaise based with lots of other chemicals lurking behind the scene? Want it to be refreshing too? Well, this is the recipe for you - it was for me! I had this slaw at a dinner party and fell in love with it. The host was clear on the ingredients list, but vague as to actual amounts because she felt you could add however much you wanted of any one ingredient to suit your own tastes. Normally, I like a straight forward recipe, but this one is particularly forgiving and really great to make how you like it. It is totally fresh and completely processed free. I'll give some rough estimates for the ingredient list, but personalize this to your own tastes.
1/4 to 1/2 head of shredded purple cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 zucchini, shredded
6 to 7 radishes, shredded
1/2 to whole apple, shredded (I like pink lady)
1/2 to 1 cup pineapple, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice
zest of 1-2 limes and their juice
(optional: add a bit of freshly grated ginger)
Combine all in a bowl and stir - it's that simple! I really have made this with lots of varying amounts and it has always tasted great. I take a bite and see what else it needs and call it good.
