I love salads. What I don’t love? Lettuce. Over and over again. Snooze.
The good news? Salads are one of the most versatile meals on the planet—especially when you get creative with the base and the mix-ins.
Greens are like the little black dress of the kitchen—classic, reliable, and totally remixable depending on your mood. While dainty mesclun and light vinaigrettes have their place, sometimes I want a salad that crunches back.
That’s where green cabbage comes in. It’s hearty, it’s fresh, and it holds up like a champ—so your salad actually gets better over a day or two. (Meal prep WIN.)
And now… we're kicking things up a notch.
I’ve paired this crisp cabbage slaw with Toasted Sesame Ginger Shrimp and let me tell you—it’s the ultimate upgrade. The combo of these two powerhouse flavors together brings a burst of pop-pop freshness to every single bite. 🥢✨
Don’t feel like cooking? No worries! This recipe uses pre-cooked shrimp, toss everything together, and BOOM—dinner’s done. No stove, no sweat, just a fabulous, flavorful meal perfect for summer nights.
Light, easy, crunchy, and completely craveable… this salad is a total game-changer.
