Mango Cabbage Salad

Look at all the amazing health benefits of red cabbage…

• Packed with Vitamin C- 1 cup of chopped raw cabbage contains about 75% of your daily requirement! Vitamin C is crucial for a strong immune system.
• Contains anti-inflammatory nutrients and antioxidants which help to fight chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
• Rich in Vitamin K which promotes healthy bones and Vitamin A for healthy eyes.
• One of the EWG’s “Clean 15”  fruits and vegetables with the lowest amount of pesticide residues.

And that’s just the cabbage…this salad contains a ton of other nourishing and disease-fighting foods as well! Every ingredient in this recipe has a long list of health benefits alhamdulillah.

This salad can be made a few hours ahead of time, so it’s perfect for bringing to gatherings.

If you have a food processor with a shredding blade, you can use it for the cabbage, carrot, and apple.
