Rainbow Slaw

Feeling a little 'under the weather' today, so I thought I'd treat myself to a super healthy dinner. A great rule to live (and eat) by is to 'Eat the Rainbow', meaning eat as many different colored foods as possible, as each color food offers different vitamins and minerals. I added some raw seeds for texture, flavor, protein, and fiber. The dill gives it that musty, earthy taste and the mint gives it a fresh, zingy flavor. The sweet lemony dressing pulls it all together. I hope you'll try this--you might even forget you're eating healthy as you're stuffing this crunchy slaw into your mouth!

1/2 head of red cabbage, thinly sliced/shredded

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 head dinosaur kale, thinly sliced

small handful chia seeds

small handful raw pepitas

small handful raw sunflower seeds

2 Tablespoons minced mint

1 1/2 teaspoons raw agave nectar

2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

pinch salt and pepper

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1. Combine vegetables, seeds, and herbs in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the agave, vinegars, lemon juice, salt and pepper. While whisking, drizzle olive oil into vinegar mixture to emulsify. Pour over salad.
