Healthy Salad Recipe

If you are anything like me, you get bored with the same meals. I always like looking for new ideas, but not just new...I also want HEALTHY ones. I discovered a great resource for just that. The book is called Living in the Raw. It incorporates lots of fresh veggies and fruits in the recipes. So, today I'm sharing one of my favorites with you. It's called Cabbage Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette and is great as a side dish, or you can bring it to your next potluck as a healthy alternative to the typical high carb, high sugar potluck foods.

Ingredients:
1 medium cabbage, finely shredded
4 carrots, grated
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 C celery, finely chopped
1/2 C red bell peppers, finely chopped
1/3 C flax oil
3 T lemon juice
1 T whole cumin seeds
1 t Celtic salt
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, celery and red bell pepper in a large bowl. In a jar, combine flax oil, lemon juice, salt, cumin seed, and garlic; cover and shake. Pour over salad and use your hands to mix well. Let marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Eat & Enjoy!!
