Coleslaw is often an overlooked component of dinner. We usually focus on preparing the meat and starchy sides, forgetting about coleslaw. However, it's worth paying more attention to it because coleslaw is a good source of vitamins and has beneficial effects on health.

Napa cabbage is a great base for quick coleslaws. It has very few calories—only 18 calories per 3.5 ounces—but lots of vitamin C, vitamins A and B, rutin, and beta-carotene. It's rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Eating it at the beginning of fall is worth it as it helps boost immunity. Additionally, it has antibacterial properties and inhibits the proliferation of bacteria.

Coleslaw can be both healthy and easy to prepare. Just a few ingredients—Napa cabbage, bell pepper, onion, and carrot—are enough to create a delicious and nutritious dish. The key to the flavor of this coleslaw is the sauce made from honey, apple cider vinegar, and oil.
