Health benefits of Coleslaw Cups Recipe | Myrecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 lemon
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 carrots, peeled
3 cups shredded green cabbage, preferably Savoy
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 head iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Instructions

Peel the lemon. Separate the segments using a small, sharp knife. Discard any seeds. On a cutting board, chop the segments with the garlic to form a smooth paste. Transfer to a small bowl and, whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. Repeat with the cream. Season with the salt and pepper. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into ribbons. In a large bowl, combine the carrots, cabbage, onion, scallions, and dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Using scissors, trim 8 of the large inner lettuce leaves into neat cup shapes and place in a bowl of ice water. Just before serving, remove the lettuce cups from the water and shake dry. Spoon the coleslaw into the cups.
