Asian Slaw

This nutritious and nourishing Asian Cole Slaw recipe with healthy fats and a soy-free dressing is delicious and satiating. Using organic produce is always the most healthy option, minimizing the toxic load your body would otherwise obtain from conventionally grown vegetables. Adding healthy fats to vegetables is a must so that those fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) get absorbed and used by your body. Choose healthy oils, such as avocado oil, as a neutral base, staying away from industrial seed oils that damage your cellular health. Most cole slaw recipes include sugar, but not here. Sugar is the root cause of all chronic disease, addicting and easy to swap out. This healthy Asian Cole Slaw recipe is great on tacos, as a base of Asian meal bowls and delicious mixed with kelp noodles for a fresh side dish.
