Cabbage & Carrot Slaw

This tangy and flavorful slaw is visually pleasing and the perfect way to cheer-up your palette!  No mayo in this slaw, but lemon and garlic more than make up for it.  With red cabbage, carrots and lemon readily available right now, this dish can be thrown together easily. The sauce (minus the cabbage and carrots) can be used to dress other salads too such as a bean salad or other veggies too!
Serves about 4
Ingredients:
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp fresh lemon zest
1 large (or 2 small) garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
3 cups mixture of shredded cabbage and carrots, ratio is up to you
2 Tbsp olive oil

In a large bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. Allow to sit open at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Add the parsley, cabbage and carrots and toss well.  Add the olive oil, stir well then season to taste with salt if needed.  Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.  Enjoy!
