Not a fan of anything cabbage especially if served warm,there is something about it that puts me off,maybe it’s from the over cooked,under seasoned cabbage that was the norm in my high School days,or the rice and cabbage stew I was served at a wedding somewhere.

I had some leftover red cabbage and white cabbage on me after preparing my Honey Lime Coleslaw and In the spirit of using everything and not letting anything go to waste,I had to come up with how to put them into proper use.After all it’s January,times are tough and you have to make do with anything you can grasp your hands on.

Cabbage has a crunch and a bite to it which makes it lovely for salads and slaw.I love slaw,it balances out well with almost any meal you can think of,be it your chips,meats,sandwiches you name it.

My cabbage avocado slaw  is healthy dressed with a flavourful,aromatic,sweet&tangy,creamy ginger garlic vinaigrette.Avocado being a super food makes this slaw a healthy side for any barbecue,cabbage also holds the dressing well and this can be prepared in advance,stored in your refrigerator for tomorrow,just keep in mind that avocado dosen’t store well.chop them into chunks adding them last when ready to serve.
