Jalapeño Cabbage Salad with Honey Lime Vinaigrette
Salads get a bad reputation for being boring and bland, but just like everything.. it depends how it’s prepared. If you go to a restaraunt and order a salad, chances are there is a little bit of effort that went into it to create all the different components. If we apply the same effort to our own salads, it’s typically a win.
I personally, love cabbage salads!
Why are cabbage salads my go to?
Cabbage takes forever to spoil, it goes well with any dressing, any add ons, you can make it super thin, it packs more fiber which makes it more filling. Most greens you have to pick thru the bad leaves. With cabbage, you never have to do that. Maybe you’ll slice off a bad end, but it’s fresh underneath. If you’re searching for the most cost effective salad base that’s super filling, go with cabbage!
