When I was living in London, I used to love this healthy fast food chain called Leon<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

They serve low GL, low saturated fat, wheat free, dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian options. <\/p>\n

More than anything, I loved their Salsa Verde Grilled Chicken, which they served with brown rice and a healthy coleslaw that uses plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise for the dressing.<\/p>\n

Brilliant idea isn’t it? The rich-creamy taste without the calories, sugar and oil. Plus you get your serving of probiotics!<\/p>\n

I loved it so much I’d have it once a week. Now that I’m not in London anymore, the only coleslaw I can get here are the mayonnaise-laden, super-sweet variety and I hate it because it’s so rich and sweet it makes me barf. So unless I make it myself, I’m doomed to a life of bad coleslaw.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I was blessed with a bit of culinary know-how, so made an organic super foods version of it myself.<\/h3>\n

I personally think it tastes a lot better than Leon’s original slaw because I have given it a garlicky twist, used organic vegetables and grated them using Japanese graters (which yields a much thinner and finer cut, making it easier and more pleasant on the jaws).<\/p>\n

I’ve also added pumpkin seeds and raisins to give it some nutty and tart character. Try to use organic ingredients, it makes a difference!<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/H3>
\n

    \n
  • 3 cups of grated red cabbage<\/LI>
    \n
  • 1 carrot, grated into thin strips<\/LI>
    \n
  • 1\/2 medium onion, sliced thinly (optional)<\/LI>
    \n
  • 3 heaping tablespoons of plain yogurt<\/LI>
    \n
  • 1 pip of minced garlic<\/LI>
    \n
  • 2 ounces of pumpkin seeds<\/LI>
    \n
  • 2 ounces of raisins<\/LI>
    \n
  • Salt and black pepper to taste<\/LI><\/p>\n

    Instructions<\/H3>
    \nGrate your vegetables and put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well and serve immediately or within the hour. Tip: If it gets a bit thick, just add some drinking water to loosen it up.<\/p>\n

    P\/S: Some people don’t like raw onions, so if you’re one of them you can leave it out. It goes really well with chicken!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
