Vibrant Cabbage Salad

Posted on October 10, 2015 by Annie Markowitz in Salads

We all love a little bit of color in our lives. And not just because it delights our eyes. Deep vibrant colors in foods are usually a sign of healthful nutrients and phytochemicals. And this cabbage salad has got all sorts of colors!

Cabbage, for instance, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and will help your body detoxify. And of course carrots are overflowing with beta-carotene, which helps you get your vitamin A. And if you eat too much of it, you might turn orange yourself Maybe there is such a thing as too much color…

Adding some gustatory highlights to this colorful palette is a wicked dijon dressing. Always make more than you need and keep the leftovers in the fridge for the next salad!
