Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2-1 cup water (for thinning)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey
Salad
- 2 cups shredded Cabbage (can use a bag of coleslaw mix!)
- 1 cup shaved brussel sprouts (or broccoli, cabbage, etc.)
- 1 cup shredded Carrots
- 3/4 cup Pumpkin seeds (can use almonds, sunflower seeds, etc.)
- 1/4 cup diced Red onion
- 1 cup chopped Parsley and/or cilantro
- 1/3 cup raisins or chopped dates (optional but yum!)
Instructions
Dressing
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust as you'd like. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Assembling the salad
- Chop vegetables using a knife or veggie chopper. Alternatively you can add them to a food processor and pulse until the veggies are finely chopped. For the carrots, I'll typically buy a bag of shredded carrots or shred them myself, but you can also add them to the food processor with the other veggies!
- Toss & Dress Salad. Add all of the finely chopped ingredients, pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs, and raisins to a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to lightly coat the ingredients.
- Chill. Salad is best if its chilled before serving. Serve with extra dressing if desired!
