- juice of 1/2 lemon

- Rub well into 2 portions of chicken or fish before roasting or grilling.
- Serve with a portion of Creamy Coleslaw (below) plus a mixed or green salad dressed with a little olive oil & lemon based dressing.
Creamy Coleslaw
Cabbage is packed with vitamins and minerals. So are carrots, also high in vitamin A, and onions, high in sulphur-rich amino acids which help to remove toxins from the body. This coleslaw is nothing like the limp supermarket variety: it really packs in the power and crunch and goes well with the spicy chicken recipe above.
Serves 2 (4GLs per serving)
- 200g red or white cabbage, finely shredded 90g carrots, grated
- 1/2 small white (mild) onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp low fat mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp low fat live yoghurt or greek yoghurt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method:
- Mix thoroughly and serve with Spicy Chicken and a mixed or green salad (see above).
