Purple Cabbage Salad

Salad as a meal is my ultimate lunch choice. This salad is a great example for a hearty, refreshing, colorful, and delicious salad.

We eat with our eyes first, so preparing a dish that is beautiful, helps :-)

It is super affordable, loaded with protein, fiber, and low in calories - all the best components in one dish.
