Red Cabbage Salad (V)

This salad goes great with my favorite oil free salad dressing, it's quick, easy to make, and delicious! After reading a different cabbage salad recipe on vega-licious.com I was inspired to try this, and I'm glad I did, I love it.

-Makes 1 large serving or 2 small:

Salad:
1 cup (100g) red cabbage
2 tbs raisins
1 tbs raw sunflower seeds, or cooked and unsalted.

Dressing:
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs + 1tsp flax meal
1 Tbs maple syrup, or another liquid sweetener
1 Tbs mustard
1 Tbs molasses

-First add all the dressing ingredients into a jar or something with a tight lid, shake and let sit so that the flax can help thicken it up a bit while your getting the salad ready.

-Chop the red cabbage into thin short strips, or use a food processor, crunch it in your hands to release the juices

-Top your salad with sunflower seeds, raisins and mix in 2 Tbs of your dressing, let sit to incorporate the flavors or eat right away :) Let me know what you think!

*If the flavor is too strong for you just add a little more sweetener or molasses. Or don't add as much vinegar and water.

Oil Free Salad Dressing (V)

I was trying to make a salad dressing without oil one day and this is what I came up with. Besides the natural oil in the flax meal it's oil free, it's similar to a vinaigrette. This is my new favorite, and the one I use the most. Let me know if you like it too.

Makes about 5-6 servings of 2 Tbs:

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs + 1tsp flax meal
1 Tbs honey or other liquid sweetener
1 Tbs mustard
1 Tbs molasses

-Mix all the ingredients into a jar or container with a tight lid, shake it up, let it sit for a few minutes to let the flax meal help thicken it up, and there ya go! Keep in the fridge for a few days.

*If the flavor is too strong for you just add a little more sweetener or molasses. Or don't add as much vinegar and water.

* This salad goes great with my Red Cabbage Salad Recipe.

My Favorite Veggie Wrap (V)

(Sorry, not the best pic)

This has become my new favorite lunch lately, I love that you can change it up to whatever you have in your fridge. I suppose veggie wraps don't really need a recipe but just in case you don't know where to start here is a great suggestion, measurements don't really matter, just add how much you like and whatever you like, this is my favorite combo:

Serves 1:

1 whole wheat tortilla
2 tbs hummus
2 oz tomato
4 thin slices of cucumber
1/2 avocado
1 tbs onion
1 oz spinach or other leafy green
1 pinch of dried basil, or your favorite seasoning
S&P to taste

-Easy! Just heat up your tortilla a little bit so it's a little softer, spread hummus on one side of tortilla, pile on the rest of the ingredients, season to taste, roll it tucking in the sides and eat it up. So delicious!
