2) About your salad ingredients:

  • We like to use red cabbage instead of green cabbage because it is a little softer and sweeter. Not to mention the color is amazing.
  • We also like to use arugula because it has a wonderful peppery flavor. But any green will be good. Of course, parsley is great, but you can sneak in some other greens like kale or spinach, too.
