For foods rich in vitamin C, think greens (more on this in future entry). Vitamin C is important for everything from healthy skin, to immune system, to your bones. Below is a slightly different version of coleslaw where you use kale instead of cabbage…to increase the vitamin C and other antioxidant factor!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bunch of kale, center stem removed, cut into shreds
• 1 bell pepper of your choice, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil
• 1 cup of plain greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup of white vinegar
• 2 tablespoon of agave (or honey, stevia, etc)
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Stir yogurt, oil, vinegar, and agave together in a bowl (or you can puree them in a blender).
2. Toss kale, bell pepper and carrots together in salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Add coleslaw mix and toss to coat.
4. Pour dressing over vegetables just before serving.
