  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings

Ingredients

1/2 white cabbage

3 carrots

1 apple

1 white onion

Dressing:

1 avocado

100 ml apple cider vinegar

80 ml olive oil

3 tbsp sugar (or honey/maple syrup)

2 limes (or 1 lemon)

2 tbsp fresh cilantro (finely chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Shred the cabbage and carrots, and thinly slice the apple. Chop the onion into small pieces.

  • Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, apple, and onion in a large bowl.

  • In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sugar, lime juice, and cilantro, and mix until combined.

  • Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss well until fully coated.

  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeño or chili flakes to the dressing.

Vegan? Swap the honey with maple syrup for a fully vegan recipe.

Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make it a more filling meal.

To prevent avocado browning, store in an airtight container and add extra lime juice.
