15 Mar Simple Cabbage Slaw
A quick and simple side dish to serve with pulled pork or any bbq meats.
I love a fresh salad for lunch, but they often don’t pack well. For weeks when I’m trying to get my cravings for something green and fresh-ish, I rely on cabbage slaws. The fresh crunchy texture can pack well, and be made a few days ahead of time.
For this recipe, you can use any green cabbage, but I prefer the lighter texture of a Nappa cabbage. This slaw will keep for several days in the fridge without going limp, and it’s a great pairing for smokey, rich meats such as pulled pork or anything from the grill.
