purple-cabbage

It’s low tide for local, seasonal produce, but this cabbage slaw keeps things pretty interesting for us, no fooling. We’ve enjoyed the slaw folded into fish tacos, wrapped in a tortilla with pork and beans, and eaten on a soft sesame seed bun with chopped barbequed chicken. It’s creamy, tangy, and flavorful, and subs in nicely for your usual green salad.

I especially like the Savoy and purple cabbages from Nash’s.
