Red cabbage is brilliant in coleslaw but of course you can use white cabbage either. It is absolutely packed with vitamins and other plant-based chemicals beneficial for preventing everything from heart disease to cancer. Red, green, and white cabbage are packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, and iron.
I love it raw with a dip or in a stir fry too. As I was just making a small portion, I didn’t bother with food processor, so just used the side of a box grater for the carrot and sliced the cabbage finely with a knife. The food processor is great for larger batches though.
