Cabbage Salad
I've been in a bit of a cooking rut the past few days.
A batch of cookies I was completely excited about were an epic failure - the dough didn't hold together so they melted all over the pan AND they tasted terrible. Sigh.
THEN, I decided to make pizza and let's just say it was a total meltdown. It ended with a hole in the crust and the ugliest shape you ever did see. I can't even show you, I'm too embarrassed. But, it tasted GREAT. So, when I get my act together, I'll make it again and share the recipe with you all. Promise!
Needless to say, I needed a break from the kitchen. We went out to dinner for the first time since March (OMGITWASSOGOOD), ordered in Chinese food and basically ate leftovers. It was awesome.
So, I decided to ease back into the cooking game with a no-cook salad. Baby steps, people!
This salad is nice and crunchy and so incredibly fresh! The dressing is a little sweet and a little salty and definitely delicious!
I think it pairs well with fish!
Enjoy!
