Easy Cabbage Slaw Recipe

Cabbage slaw is my go-to dish during these hot summer Florida days – it’s light and refreshing, and an easy dish to put together.

Cabbage is part of the Brassica vegetable family. It is packed with nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and manganese. It contains antioxidants that help reduce inflammation. With its fiber content, it can help keep the digestive system healthy and promote regular bowel movements.
