Cabbage with Mayo

Click picture to print recipe.

This is one my daughter and I live off. It's very easy to make provides a heap of nutrients, anti-oxidants and phytochemicals, like powerful anthocyanin's from purple cabbage, folate from spinach and carotenoids from red capsicum. It can be varied to your taste with your choice of seeds or mayo.

Ingredients:

1/2 Purple cabbage. 250 g baby spinach.

Sesame seeds to taste or any seed of your choice.

2 big Red capsicums.

100g Birch & Waite herb whole egg mayo or your choice of mayo.

Directions:

Wash and dry spinach, try to get all the water off as water will make it soggy and it will rot quickly, I use clean tea towels to lay the spinach on after spinning it and pat it with paper towels.

Shred the cabbage to your taste, we like our with a bit more crunch so it's sliced a bit thicker. Place in large airtight container.

Chop capsicum into small chunks' add to cabbage and mix well.

Add spinach, sesame seeds to your taste and mayo, mix well.

This will keep in the fridge for a few days, but we eat it quickly. Make sure you only use 100g of mayo as it makes it high in fat if you use more.

A 150g will give you:

This is filling and yummy in summer I add an orange to mine as it the Vit C helps to up take all the lovely greens. Green and purple foods give you a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and for type1 or 2 diabetics, or anyone looking to reduce your Carb's this is 3.9 g Carb's, in diabetic talk that's a free food!
