4 servings
For the slaw
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage (about ¼ small head)
Ingredient noteFermented cabbage is very high in histamine, but fresh cabbage is not. If you prefer to always avoid cabbage, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of fresh ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving
- 2 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, scallion greens, and cilantro. Toss to distribute evenly.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, turmeric, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt until the dressing is smooth and uniform in color.
