Detox Slaw

Mikey and I have not been giving Food Nasty the love it deserves because he and I have been on a detox! Oh my! We are detoxing from all the muffins, pasta, cheese, and chocolate we consumed over the holidays. We wanted to feel light and at the top of our game, so we have been on an intense detox where we can’t eat gluten, lactose, sugar, caffeine, red meat, shellfish, basically anything fun. It has been torturous, but I feel radiant, Mikey has a ton of energy, and we look marvelous!

To go along with our detox guidelines we created a delicious slaw, which not to toot our own horns, but is great detox or not. Make this, enjoy, and feel healthier.

Ingredients: serves 4-6

1/4 small red cabbage

1/4 small green cabbage

3 large carrots

2 Tablespoons Fresh ginger

1/3 cup Shelled edamame

1 Tablespoon White miso paste

1 Tablespoon water

Pinch of salt

2 Tablespoons sherry vinegar

1 clove garlic

3 radishes

½ a shallot

1/3 cup olive oil

1 lime

This is such an easy recipe to make, it is basically two things, making the dressing for the slaw, and chopping the ingredients for the slaw. Put the slaw together by thinly slicing your cabbage and two radishes. Next peel and grate two carrots. If your edamame is frozen, heat and measure out the amount you need. Now mix all together.

To make the dressing peel and chop one carrot, two tablespoons of ginger, one radish, one clove of garlic, and ½ a shallot. Blend together until super fine. Next put the miso, vinegar, and water in and continue to blend. While continuing to blend, pour the oil in, and blend until smooth.

Pour the dressing over the slaw, you can use all of it if you want it super saturated, or some of it. Mix together and serve with some lime slices on the side! You will love it!
