(Left-over) Veggie Side Dish

Left-over coleslaw? Sauté it up for a yummy veggie side dish! 

Directions:

1. Strain off any extra juice by placing coleslaw in a colander. 

2. Heat skillet with 2 tsp of avocado oil (or your favorite high heat oil) on medium high heat. 

3. Add the strained coleslaw to the heated skillet and spread evenly out in the skillet. 

4. Let cook for 2 mins before stirring to get some sear on the cabbage. 

5. Stir and then cook for 7-10 mins until cabbage is slightly soft with sear. Stir occasionally during the cooking time so it doesn’t burn. 

6. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately!
