Purple Passion Salad

There is nothing better than a zesty red cabbage vegan slaw on a hot summer's day! The colors are so bright and beautiful that this salad becomes more of an art piece rather than a side dish.
No cooking involved which makes it easy to make and easy to clean up. Also who wants to really turn on the stove in this weather?

1 small head of red cabbage chopped
1/2 cup of chopped curly parsley
1/4 cup of raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of pitted green and purple olives (i prefer the greek kind)
1 medium size cucumber chopped into quarter pieces
handful of black raisins (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together
In a separate mixing bowl combine the dressing

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons  of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of course sea salt
sprinkle with cracked pepper
