Cabbage is a fairly inexpensive vegetable to stretch your grocery budget. It has
some great nutrients and you'd be amazed at the volume of shredded cabbage you can get out of one head of this often over looked vegetable. I recently bought a huge 32 ounce bag of pre-washed cole slaw mix at a warehouse store for about $2.00. I like to saute it with a little fat but it also begs to be made into an actual cole slaw with dressing. I searched the internet for paleo cole slaw recipes and was surprised at how difficult it was to find one without honey. My slaw isn't a dessert treat so I don't want added sugars, though I hope it will be a treat to eat. I had to travel all the way to London over the internet* to find this recipe for
Green Chili Slaw from
The London Paleo Kitchen.
They have some really good looking recipes on this site. I read their "Who are We" section and they say their recipes aren't precise, encourage ingredient substitution, and welcome improvement suggestions. Given that, I felt comfortable using the bagged cole slaw mix instead of shredding the cabbages and carrots myself.
