Fiber, antioxidants, glucosinolates—these are just a handful of cabbage's advantageous qualities. And, consumed raw, your body receives maximum benefits.
This coleslaw recipe contains plenty of green and purple cabbage. However, it's dressed in Greek yogurt, coconut milk and raw honey instead of the usual full-fat mayo and refined sugar. Jalapenos, cilantro, raw garlic and smoky dried spices kick up the nutritional values and flavor.
