Health authorities always tells us to eat fruits and veggies, and especially cruciform vegetables like broccoli, Brussels, and cabbage. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not always easy to get all those veggies in all the time. And sometimes we can feel like we just need other ways to prepare them so we’re not serving our family the same stuff in the same way all the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why this recipe is such a refreshing new way to pull in the key super foods like cabbage, carrot, and even pineapple!<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out our jerk chicken recipe<\/a>, because this slaw is a perfect bed to nestle in the spicy grilled chicken on top!<\/span><\/p>\n
