Purple Cabbage Slaw with Pineapple, Cilantro and Lime
Serves 4 (1 cup each)
Prep time: 25 minutes | Ready time: 25 minutes

We affectionately call this salad “Purplicious” because it really is purple and delicious, and loved by all in our families. We love it for a quick and healthy side dish that can be whipped up in less than a half hour. It’s great last-minute and even better the next day for lunch. Top it with a grilled chicken breast or pork loin and boom, dinner is done.
Ingredients:
4 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage, firmly packed (about ½ head of medium cabbage)
1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated (1 cup)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 limes)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions:
Combine cabbage, pineapple, carrots, lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Season with more lime juice and sea salt to taste if desired.
