  • Author: Elizabeth Rider
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2-4

Ingredients

Units
  • 1/2 head of red cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups shredded)
  • 1 medium jicama, peeled and julienned (about 2 cups julienned)
  • 1 fuji apple, julienned (skin on, about 1 cup julienned)
  • 3 scallions, white and 2 inches of the green, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup raw, hulled sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw, sliced almonds
  • Juice of one lime (about 1 1/2 tbsp)
  • 2 tbsp flaxseed or macadamia nut oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, chill at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to allow all of the flavors to combine.

Store in the refrigerator covered, up to 3 days.

Prepare once, eat 2 or 3 times: I make a large batch of this salad to eat for meals and snacks during the following few days.


Notes

  • The scallions can easily be left out if you don’t care for onion flavor, or substituted with 3 tbsp finely chopped red onion for a bolder flavor.
  • I prefer the taste and texture of a fuji apple here, but any kind can be substituted.
  • Green cabbage tastes great in this salad too, just won’t turn it pink.
