Galilee Green Purple Cabbage Cole Slaw

Shmuel Veffer

Cabbage is plentiful in Israel, especially in the summer and is a staple in many recipes. It provides a refreshing crunch especially during warm weather in summer salads.

When it’s turned into cole slaw it’s a favorite at family BBQ’s and Picnics… We call a BBQ “mangal” in Hebrew and Picnic is “Peekneek” in Hebrew!! LOL

Here’s a great recipe from our friend Nili who got it originally from her friend Malka..

Ingredients:

An Israeli portable “Mangal” BBQ

• 1 small purple cabbage shredded
• 1 green apple shredded
• ½ carrot shredded
• 1 tablespoon unroasted sunflower seeds
• 2 chopped scallions
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• ½ a chopped red pepper
• ½ tablespoon sesame seeds

Dressing:

• ½ cup Galilee Green Olive Oil
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• dash of apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon mustard powder

Directions

1. Shred and chop the vegetables and add dried cranberries, sesame seeds and dressing ingredients.
2. Toss well and serve.

This cole slaw is pretty, light and a fun change to the creamy cole slaw I regularly make each Shabbat.

ENJOY!!
