CANCER FIGHTING, CABBAGE FAMILY AND COLESLAW SALAD RECIPES

These are ideas for salads using all manner of vegetables from the Cabbage family, collard greens,mustard greens, kale, broccoli & Broccoli leaves..these are all edible and all very strong cancer prevention vegetables.
For tough Green vegetable leaves, remove the rib (the thick stem that runs through the center of each leaf) and very thinly slice (known as chiffonade).
If you cannot get the tough Cabbage Greens then by all means use regular green cabbage, broccoli and/or red cabbage, just eat more cabbage greens weekly!

The perfect dressings for these salads are any of the Marinade  dressing recipes given on today's blog.
Dress and wait 25-45 mins before eating this allows the lemon juice to break down the tough leaves.
