Two Color Crunchy Cabbage Salad
Cabbage is highly nutritious vegetable…..rich in vitamin C, fiber, and vitamin K. Since Americans are so focused on their health in the beginning of any New Year. This was the perfect dish for me to serve at my 2024 Vision Board Party.
Bonus: The color is energetic, and green is hope = healthy gut and body
