As the Temperature plummets to 15 Below Zero, I walk through the Park with my dog Jack. With each step I hear the crunch of the snow under my boots and this begins my cravings for crunchy crispy veggies. My mind begins to consider what I have in the Fridge and before I know it I am creating a salad to live for!
Living Energy Slaw
Serves 6 to 8
1 Large Head of Green Cabbage sliced finely
2 Large Carrots Sliced on a diagonal and cut into fine Matchsticks
Place these ingredients into a large glass bowl with 1Tbl. of Sea Salt
Massage the salt into the vegetables, you will see that they begin to sweat
Cover with a plate and a weight leave for 20 minutes, then drain
You may rinse with water to remove salty flavor

Matchstick Cutting Technique |
In a separate bowl place:
1/2 Med.Head of Red Cabbage sliced finely, massage and marinated with 3 Tbl. of Umeboshi Vinegar, let it sit for 15 minutes then lightly rinse and drain
In one additional bowl place:
1 Med.Red Onion sliced finely, massage and marinate with 1Tbl. of Umeboshi Vinegar, let sit for 15 minutes then lightly rinse and drain
I like to squeeze all the excess liquid from the vegetables in an impeccably clean tea towel
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl with 3Tbl. of Olive Oil, 2Tbl. of Apple Cider Vinegar, 2tsp. of Agave Nectar and 2Tbl. of finely minced Italian Parsley
Garnish with Dulse or Black Sesame Seeds
Enjoy!
