Why I Love This Recipe
I'm truly obsessed with this recipe. It's bright, crunchy, refreshing and perfectly seasoned. The cabbage stays crispy so you can prep it ahead of time, the herbs are a lovely pop of flavor, the lemon and olive make the perfect dressing and the dried mint just sends it over the edge. I kid you not, you could serve this alongside some ribs, some salmon, some chicken or underneath some grilled vegetables and it will boggle your mind!
