Healthy Slaws
I want to give my husband credit for our newest healthy habit. We eat salad every day and have for many years. One day, he got to thinking about some of the healthiest vegetables to consume — the colorful ones, like dark leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots — and wondered how we could include them in a salad that was actually fun to eat. He mused that perhaps we could make a slaw out of them. It would be like a cole slaw, but loaded up with more than just cabbage and carrots.
His idea was to create a daily salad that is power-packed with nutrition. We prefer to consume our fruits and veggies raw to prevent nutrient loss. But let’s face it — it is hard to eat those raw, hearty vegetables as is. Creating a slaw out of them makes them tasty. The end result is quite a bit like cole slaw, but it is more interesting and it is much more healthy.

Yum, your slaw makes me hungry! I read the whole Titus 2 Christian Homekeeper article and it is great. Thanks for linking it. You and Jeff have wonderful recipe ideas! I love you! Mom
Hello Wardeh! I have tried something like this on a few occasions when I didn’t want to eat a ‘regular salad’. Except I put it in my handy dandy food processor to make quick work of all the chopping. I happen to love both green and red cabbage. One day I thought, why don’t I chop this up small and add carrots, bell pepper, parsley, etc.? I did it, added my favorite organic dressing and loved it! It really perks up salad time - I just love the crunch! I think I will make a slaw tomorrow. I will have to look up and see if you can use rainbow chard raw. I know you can juice it, but I wonder if you can eat it raw. I had a wonderful juice today with Several leaves rainbow chard
One very long celery stalk
Two small radishes
One green onion
Half a brown pear (asian?)
Half a small beet
Three fourths of a sweet potato
One clove of garlic
I still have a bit of each of those things, I think I will add them all into a slaw. Yum!
Have a wonnnderful rest of your weekend, Dear Wardeh.
Hugs & Love
Hey, Robin, that sounds yummy! We do chard raw, definitely. You’ve given me some ideas. I think grated sweet potato would be wonderful! Love, Wardeh
