Nourishment Notes
This slaw is the kind of thing I make when my brain feels foggy and I need a little color medicine to bring me back. Purple foods have this way of quieting the noise while sharpening your vision—from your thoughts to your intuition. The citrus and herbs snap everything awake, and the cabbage gives it just enough crunch to make it satisfying. I always use a mandolin here because the texture matters. Serve it cold, under dappled sun, with people you love. It’s got that high-vibe, late-July magic.
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 6 friends (as a side)
Ingredients
Purple Cabbage – ½ head, finely shredded
White Onion – 1 medium, finely sliced
Organic Local Carrots – 2 (orange or purple), julienned, shredded, or sliced thin with a mandolin
Fresh Corn – 2 ears, kernels only
Organic Local Fresh Cilantro – 2 generous handfuls, lightly chopped
Organic Local Fresh Thyme – 1 tbsp, finely chopped
Fresh Lime Juice – from 2 whole limes
High-Quality Mayonnaise – ⅓ cup (preferably organic or avocado oil-based)
Sea Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper – to taste
Method
Boil a large pot of water and add the corn until it becomes tender, about 5 minutes, then remove it and set it aside to cool. Meanwhile, use a mandolin to slice the purple cabbage, onion, and carrot. Combine these vegetables in a bowl and gently massage them with a bit of salt, allowing the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. As the veggies rest, carefully slice the kernels off the cooled corn cobs and add them to the bowl of veggies. Lightly chop the cilantro and thyme together, then mix them into the bowl. Add lime juice and mayonnaise to the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste
