NUTRITIONIST’S TIP:

You can throw this together quickly using bagged coleslaw mix, but I really prefer the flavour of freshly shredded cabbage.  This recipe goes really well with a picnic or a BBQ.  Surprisingly, it can also hold its weight beside the bold flavours of Indian Cuisine due to the influences of cumin and coriander.  It’s a powerhouse of a salad on the nutritional side, so load up your plate.
