Yes, a healthy salad can be tasty. A little imagination can go a long way in sprucing up the not so favorite, but immensely nutritious Cabbage. Fresh cabbage adds a unique crunch to salads while adding fiber and a bunch of essential nutrients like vitamin K,C and A along with plenty of manganese, vitamin B6 and manganese. This recipe us inspired by my grandfather's original contribution to the family dinner table.
To make this salad, you will need:
1/2 a cabbage: finely shredded
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1 apple: chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 cup of peanut powder: roasted peanuts ground to a powder using a standard food processor
Salt, pepper and jaggery to taste: you can use golden brown sugar as a fantastic substitute for jaggery
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice: you can add more than this if you like your salad tangy.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cabbage, cranberries and raisins.
Then, add the diced apple, salt, pepper, lemon juice and jaggery. Mix thoroughly.
Finally, add the peanut powder, mix, and let the salad sit to marinate in the lemon juice for about 30 minutes before serving.
ENJOY!
