2 serves of veg
  • 250g red cabbage, finely shredded (approx. 2 cups)
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • ¼ small red onion, finely sliced
  • ½ medium red capsicum, finely sliced
  • ¼ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley leaves, finely chopped

For the dressing:

  • 1 ½ tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  1. Place the cabbage, carrot, red onion, capsicum, mint and parsley leaves in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  2. To make the dressing: combine the lime juice, olive oil, ginger and chilli in a small bowl.
  3. Add the dressing to the salad and gently toss to combine.

Serving Suggestion:  Vegetables can also be swapped for other vegetables you may have on hand, for example, replace the red cabbage with green cabbage, or replace the mint and parsley leaves with another type of herb.

Serve alongside tofu and rice for a vegan ‘poke bowl’ option. Alternatively, serve alongside grilled meat, chicken or fish, with roasted potato or sweet potato.
