This tasty cabbage salad with cilantro dressing was introduced to me from my sister-in-law Deanna. She is a wonderful in the kitchen. Deanna found this recipe in The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook. I loved the salad for it’s flavor, crunch factor and of course the vegetables!

    Interesting tidbit on the relationship between salad and lower rates of cancer! I like salad, but only when its got a lot of goodies in it (because i'm naughty).
