We've paired cabbage, our favourite cancer-fighting vegetable, with fresh fruit for an enticing spin on slaw.

Roasted pepper

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Cut pepper in half and remove seeds. Place cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast until skin starts to wrinkle and turn dark, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, leaving pepper on baking sheet. Fold up foil to cover pepper. When cool enough to handle, peel pepper.
