Equipment

  • Skillet with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 handful raw cashews
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 10 oz bag Super Blend Slaw or similar slaw mix
  • A little water for steaming
  • 1 apple chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • 1-2 cups leftover chicken or hemp seeds, for a meat-free option
  • 2-3 dates chopped

Instructions
 

  • Add the cashews and olive oil to a skillet. Stir for 2–3 minutes, then pour into a serving bowl.
  • In the same skillet, add the slaw with a little water. Cover and let it steam.
  • While the slaw steams, chop the apple into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the apple, cinnamon, and chicken (or hemp seeds) to the pan. Cook until the apple is tender.
  • While that cooks, chop the dates with kitchen scissors and add them to the bowl with the cashews.
  • Once the slaw is done, stir in the cashews and dates. Mix well and serve hot.

Notes

Protein: Any leftover protein works here — chicken, turkey, or hemp seeds for a meat-free version.
Dates: Kitchen scissors make quick work of chopping dates — no sticky knife or cutting board required.
Leftovers: Keep in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Add the cashews fresh when reheating so they stay crunchy.
