Phytonutrient rich Zesty Rainbow Slaw Delight for Picnics

Summer is the best time for bringing in whole ingredients into your picnics. And now with many more interested in creating a diet that is phytonutrient rich, we can celebrate the new season.

Zesty Rainbow Slaw Delight brings so many colors and flavors together that you might not have tried before. I found the using a mandolin to get these vegetables thinly sliced is a key to really enjoying the flavors and reduces the time for making it. Find the one I use on this page RESOURCES.

Nutritious Dense Zesty Rainbow Slaw Delight

To make this recipe vegan, we’re using a vinaigrette that is rich in flavor and not as calorie dense as the mayonnaise based ones that we may be most familiar with.

This makes the recipe healthier and perfect for those who want to enjoy it with their summer sandwiches and wraps and it adds a dense doses of phytonutrients as well.

Colorful salad for 4th of July Picnics

I love to point out here how pink the colors are of the fennel and apple. The color change happens when we add an acid to the red cabbage. The pH shift causes the anthocyanins present to pop out with their purple and violet colors. It is so wonderfully vibrant and immerses the whole dish at the same time.

The food we eat has a major impact on our health, but the way we prepare it can also have an effect. Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. But what if I told you that changing these factors could make all the difference? Just by cooking your meals with whole food, plant-based ingredients, you can improve your health.
