Cabbage is one of those superfoods that happens to be super tasty and super easy on your pocketbook. It offers a lot of nutrition for your buck, or as Dr. Greger from Nutritionfacts.org suggests, purple cabbage is a “superfood bargain”. It’s relatively inexpensive, it stays fresh for several days, it’s packed with phytonutrients shown to “boost immune function” and it’s easy on the eyes – a stunning color that brightens just about any dish. The beauty and benefits of this colorful vegetable are what sparked my inspiration for this Southwestern Rainbow Slaw creation. It’s just a tad tangy, a touch spicy and perfectly crisp. This slaw goes well with nearly everything…tacos, salads, sweet potatoes, veggie burgers, tamales, and more. Take your pick!
