Kori's Tips
For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.TIPS: Keep the cabbage finely shredded so it blends easily with the chopped veggies; chop everything small so you get a little of everything in each bite; thinly slice celery so it doesn’t overpower; let it rest before serving so the cabbage softens just enough; add nuts right before serving to keep them crunchy.VARIATIONS: Add chickpeas or grilled chicken to make it a full meal; swap cashews for sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds if needed; toss in avocado for extra creaminess; add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness; mix in feta for a tangy contrast.SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve as a fresh side with grilled meats or seafood; pile into wraps or pitas; spoon over grain bowls; or enjoy as a hearty, healthy lunch on its own.
