Vita-slaw with cabbage, carrots, and apples

This is the remedy for January: a seasonal vitamin-packed slaw that was bold, flavourful and healthy.

We made this so many times this month, we lost count. Quick, tangy, and immune-boosting.

The trifecta of citrus, cabbage, and carrots this time of year really deliver that nutritious punch (hello, ☀️ vitamin C!). All mixed up with new harvest olive oil weaving flavours together and bringing out the very best for these ingredients at their peak.

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

cabbage
carrot
apple
ginger (fresh root, about a thumb size)
lemon or citrus of your choice (unwaxed as we finely chop the peel and put it in there too!)
herbs (we used spring onions and mint most times)
vinegar (obsessed with Willy's organic raw apple cider vinegar with honey & turmeric—it was MADE for this slaw)
our new harvest oil from Crete

Now grate everything and splash enough vinegar and oil that it’s properly soupy! Soak up leftover pools with bread. 🤌

Frizzled spring onion dip from Anna Jones

Homemade dips are so underrated. They are usually super easy to put together and they add SO MUCH flavour to your weekday meals. Give this one a go and we promise—you’ll be making it on repeat. It’s take on the traditionally Chinese spring onion oil, but with a hit of chilli and turmeric, sitting on top of a thick lime yoghurt. It comes from the delicious mind of Anna Jones and her new cookbook “Easy Wins” where she delves into 12 flavour hits such as mustard, lemon and, obviously, EVOO! S...
