A note on ingredients: While cabbage is a green-zone vegetable on the Bulletproof Diet, raw cabbage can be moderately high in oxalates—a type of antinutrient that can cause muscle pain, kidney stones, or thyroid imbalances. To reduce oxalates, you can lightly steam cabbage ahead of time and refrigerate before incorporating in this recipe, or soak in extra lemon juice.
