Spring is just a week away and we were facing a few days of gloomy and wet weather. So, Michelle hoped to bring some sun shine to the South Arm Older Adults Kitchen with a Mexican theme kitchen.

The first recipe was Cabbage Avocado Slaw. It’s the season for cabbages and it’s the best time to have some crunchy salad with a touch of creamy avocado.

Ingredients

• 6 cups finely shredded purple and green cabbage
• 1 red, orange or yellow pepper, chopped
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds, optional (or other seeds like pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc)
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
