Rainbow Slaw Salad

This salad provides so many health benefits due to the variety of vegetables used, but also because of one of the main ingredients in the dressing: raw honey. Raw honey contains many essential vitamins including, all of the B-complex, A, C, D, E, and K, as well as minerals and trace elements: magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, calcium, chlorine, potassium, iodine, sodium, copper, and manganese. The live enzyme content of honey is one of the highest of all foods. Honey also contains antioxidants, and has antimicrobial and antibacterial components that can aid our immune system.

Because of the wonderful perks of raw honey, it works as the perfect processed sugar replacement. Raw honey means it has not been pasteurized. It is the pasteurization process of heating honey to high temperatures that kills the nutrients naturally found in honey like vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. When you get a bottle of raw honey you also know exactly what is inside: honey! Sometimes, honey can have added corn syrup or other additives that imitates honey in order to fill more bottles and save costs.
