Carrot and Cabbage Slaw with Turnips and an Easy Dressing

This is a light, crunchy, and refreshing Turnip, Carrot, and Red Cabbage Slaw. It’s a great dose of vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system and overall health. As some or maybe many people have begun to regain somewhat of a normal life and get back to work, after a month or two of isolation, it’s important to keep yourself healthy like never before. This cabbage slaw can help you do just that!

Turnips– Loaded with a variety of vitamin B, fiber, manganese, potassium, and iron.

Carrots– One of the best choices for vitamin A.

Bok choy– Helps to protect cells against damage. Boy Choy helps keep a healthy immunity and provides vitamin C and E along with beta-carotene which can help keep the skin, eyes, and immune system healthy.

Red cabbage– Helps the body to produce red blood cells and gives your body a boost of vitamin C.

Cilantro– This herb became one of my favorites, even though it’s not one that I have always liked the taste or smell of. Cilantro is great for detoxifying the body by stimulation the digestion system.

FOR THE SLAW DRESSING YOU WILL NEED:

Olive oil– or any oil you like to use.

Lime– for the tang and citrus kick.

Apple cider vinegar– I always have a bottle one hand. Make sure to not miss this one, it does wonders for your health. I like to use the Bragg brand. It’s made with real organic apples and unfiltered vinegar, and is a perfect way to add delicious flavor to any salad, including the red cabbage slaw.

Garlic– for flavor and an immune system boost!

Tamari– is a gluten-free soy sauce, but you are welcome to use the original version if you are not gluten intolerant.

Syrup– add a little bit of sweetness

Sea salt– to season

How to Make A Turnip, Carrot, and Red Cabbage Slaw

Shred turnips and carrots and add to a large bowl. Shred them using a large box grater or in a food processor using the shredding blade.

Next, thinly slice the red cabbage and bok choy and add to a larger separate bowl. This is best done using a mandolin slicer or sliced by hand. You can also use a slicing blade on a food processor for the cabbage. Add the turnips, carrots, cabbage, bok choy, and cilantro to the bowl and toss well.

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.

Pour dressing over vegetables and herbs in a large bowl and mix well.

Serve topped with more chopped cilantro and/or green onions (optional).
