When I was little my Nana used to make a red cabbage salad with raisins that she forced us to eat at almost every lunch, so for years I’ve had a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to red cabbage. I’m happy to say that those bad memories have been replaced by really good ones thanks to The Kitchen Thief’s Grilled Avocado and Red Cabbage Salad.
Last weekend myself, , from and special guest decided to get together, cook some seriously delicious and heathy food and then eat it. I’ll be teaming up with the Kitchen Thief more often for this type of thing so if you have any suggestions for recipes or you’d like to come help us eat all the delicious food me make just shout.
We quickly discovered that to grill Avo’s properly you need a grilling pan, we just used a frying pan, it did the trick but the Avo’s stuck and it was a little tricky. Also, agave nectar can be hard to come by so feel free to substitute it with Maple Syrup.
All in all this is a seriously delicious and filling recipe, it doesn’t look like much but we were stuffed afterwards!
