    Cabbage is high in fiber and nutrients, and contains antioxidants that may protect you against cancer. So what are you waiting for? Here's a simple way to add more cabbage to your diet. This coleslaw recipe skips the high-calorie mayonnaise and uses subtle fruit flavors for a sweet and tart combination.

Ingredients:

2 cups chilled, shredded cabbage
1/4-1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and julienned
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/8 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make It:
  1. Toss the cabbage, onion, carrot, apple, and raisins in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir gently. Add the vinegar or lemon juice and stir again.
  2. Sprinkle with cumin, dill, salt, and pepper and toss. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
