Ingredients

  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 orange zest and juiced
  • 1 lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups of curly or dino kale thinly sliced and stems discarded
  • 2 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 2 large carrots grated

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the onion, zest the orange into the bowl, squeeze the orange juice, and squeeze a whole lemon in. Add the salt and pepper. Mix well and allow it to sit in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Add the kale and olive oil to the bowl. Using your hands, massage the kale for one minute without fully mixing it with the onion mixture. Mix with the onions and the dressing well.
  3. Add the cabbage and carrots. Mix well and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

  • For quick prep time: Use tools like a mandoline/shredding disk to prep the veg in practically seconds. Buying pre-shredded carrots helps, too.
  • Clean the kale well: As it can hide gritty dirt in the leaves. Rinse and dry it thoroughly when making coleslaw with kale.
  • Let the kale slaw rest: For at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.
