So many of my buddha bowls and salad recipes including red cabbage because, well, THAT COLOR. (My entire kitchen including my kitchen table is bright purple). I love the nutrient profile of red cabbage- it is so rich in so many vitamins and minerals, its practically like popping a daily multivitamin. Best of all is how well cabbage stands up to dressing, meaning the next day's leftovers taste just as good! So, whip up a big batch of this slaw and enjoy!
Tangy Citrus Slaw

1/2 head cabbage, shredded (red or green or a combination)
1 large carrot, julienned
