Tamari, White Cabbage + Tuscan Kale Salad
Today’s salad instalment is this slightly Asian inspired slaw. If you weren’t aware of my opinions already… I absolutely love cabbage and I think it’s the most underrated vegetable ever. This recipe uses white cabbage (which is the same as green cabbage), which when prepared correctly is so so delicious.

Enjoy this delicious recipe! And don’t skip out on toasting the pepitas as it adds a seriously good crunch factor that takes this dish to the next level.
TIP: Always keep a jar of toasted nuts or seeds in the fridge. Add to any meal that you feel is lacking a little crunch or texture.
