After completing the Fundamentals of Raw Plantlab Culinary Course, I have a new appreciation for raw foods. Not only are these foods bursting with nutrients in their most natural state, they truly stand out on their own when it comes to taste and presentation.

This recipe for apple cabbage slaw that is served in raddichio cups is no exception! The sweetness of the apple paired with the spiciness of the radish and the bitterness of the raddichio is a trio meant for flavor perfection. Top it all off with a light coating of the maple tahini dressing and you have yourself a winning dish!

The slaw is super simple to assemble and really only requires three steps: mix, shred and mix again. What do I mean? Add the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl, mix and set aside. Shred the cabbage, apples and radishes and add to a bowl along with the sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. Pour the dressing and mix it all together. See how easy that is?

Instructions

1. To make the dressing, add the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
2. Using a box grater, grate the apples and radishes using the side with the largest holes. Squeeze the excess water out of the apple before adding to the mixing bowl. Add the cabbage, apples, radishes, cranberries and sunflower seeds to a large bowl and toss to combine. Pour the dressing over the top and mix until evenly coated.
3. To assemble, trim the root end off of the heads of the raddichio to make it easier to peel off the individual lettuce “cups”. Place the cups on a serving tray and spoon the slaw into the cups. Enjoy!
