Napa cabbage coleslaw: A simple, healthy twist on dinner sides

This recipe is for you if you're seeking inspiration for a coleslaw for dinner. You'll learn how to prepare a simple and tasty coleslaw with Napa cabbage, complemented by other vegetables and a delightful sweet and sour sauce.

Coleslaw is an element of dinner that's often overlooked. We usually focus on preparing the meat and starchy sides, forgetting about coleslaw. However, it's worth paying more attention to because it is a good source of vitamins and has a beneficial effect on health.

Napa cabbage is a great base for quick coleslaws. It has very few calories, only 18 calories per 100 grams (about 4 ounces), but lots of vitamin C and vitamins A and B, rutin, and beta-carotene. It's rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Eating from the beginning of autumn is worth eating as it helps boost immunity. Additionally, it has antibacterial properties and inhibits the multiplication of bacteria.

Coleslaw is both healthy and easy to prepare. Just a few ingredients—Napa cabbage, bell pepper, onion, and carrot—are enough to create a delicious and healthy dish. The key to the flavour of this coleslaw is the sauce made from honey, apple cider vinegar, and oil.

Ingredients:

• half a head of Napa cabbage,
• half a red bell pepper,
• 1 carrot,
• 1 red onion,
• 3 tablespoons of oil,
• 2 teaspoons of honey,
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar,
• salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation Method:

1. First, finely chop the cabbage, remove the core from the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips.
2. Dice the onion, and grate the carrot on a large grater. Place all the vegetables in a salad bowl.
3. In a small bowl, mix oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Pour the sauce over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly.
