Pozole fixin’s salad? I’m on a salad kick – cold slaw, chopped veggie salad … and now this one, which uses my favorite ingredients: left overs!

This past week I got a bit over zealous with my veggie preparations and ended up with quite the Ziploc full of left overs. You don’t have to make this salad with left overs, I just get a thrill out of creating something pretty darn delicious out of them.
Cabbage is one of those tried and true vegetables you can find year round and, for the most part, is always relatively inexpensive. Not only is it good for you, with lots of fiber, and full of phytochemicals that fight inflammation and promote good digestion, it’s also very easy to prepare.
