It’s incredibly fresh, colorful, and customizable, and it comes with a new-and-improved tahini dressing. Let’s do this! This 20-minute recipe starts with shredded fennel, celery, beets, carrots, and fresh parsley and cilantro, which not only creates a hearty base but also provides plenty of health benefits. Parsley and cilantro help gently lift and remove toxins from the body, including heavy metals, pollution, and more! They’re also both high in vitamins and minerals and very hydrating and nourishing. Fennel is high in vitamins A + C, calcium, potassium, zinc, copper, and selenium. It’s also high in fiber, which helps promote regularity (ftw). Celery is high in vitamins B6, C, + K, potassium, and folate. It also has high fiber, water, and electrolyte content, so it’s very hydrating for the body. And its antioxidants and polysaccharides help fight inflammation in the body! Beets promote oxygen-rich blood and improved circulation. They’re also high in folate as well as amino acids that help reduce fat accumulation in the liver, which in turn helps improve liver function. Carrots are abundant in fiber and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which help fight free radicals in the body. They’re also high in magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, K, + C. The nutrients in carrots also help boost and protect your eyesight! Apples are packed with antioxidants, flavonoids, and fiber. They’re also high in vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and phytonutrients that help protect the body from free radicals. Cabbage is high in free-radical-fighting antioxidants as well as vitamins K, C, + B6. It also boasts plenty of manganese, potassium, and fiber. Both red and green cabbage work in this recipe, but red will provide slightly more anti-inflammatory benefits due to its higher anthocyanin content. And the dressing adds a bit of healthy fat and creaminess in the form of tahini, an extra boost of vitamin C from lemon juice, and a little love for your gut from apple cider vinegar. Not to mention garlic, which is antibacterial and anti-parasitic, and rosemary for even more antifungal and antibacterial benefits! Also, this dressing TASTES amazing! We hope you LOVE this slaw!
