I’m making this tonight. My family will be having tacos but I was planning on a taco salad and since I’ve had a head of cabbage in the fridge since January so I need to use it. I think I’ll use this as the base and add some black olives too. I don’t have any radishes.

This is a great base for taco salad. One of my faves.
Alisha
It was really good! My new go to for taco salad. I added some black beans, black olives and crumbled goat cheese. I can’t wait to eat the left overs tomorrow.
Jessica Fisher
Great!
Donna
This salad looks amazing and I hope to make it soon, but I miss new posts! I think I got addicted to hearing from you everyday during the pantry challenge!!
Jessica
I miss new posts, too! I’ve been swamped this past week with life. Hoping to share new stuff by the weekend!
Natalie
Looks great, I am obsessed with cumin!
Lori
I was so excited I received radishes & cabbage in my co-op basket yesterday. Definitely going to be making this salad/slaw this week.
Brooke Kingston
We loved this with your Mexican Beef Tortas…had it for dinner and everyone raved! This slaw is lovely; colorful, flavorful and so crunchy!
Jessica
@Brooke Kingston, that sounds like a great combination! Now to find chuck roast on sale so I can make tortas again.
KimH
That sounds & looks amazing.. M’honey will just have to do without since he doesnt like cumin or cilantro.. but my palate will be doing a happy dance. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your great salad!

yum, what a great way to use up some red cabbage I have – and might just use parsley instead of cilantro – after all we still are on the LAST day of the pantry challenge! 🙂
did cave though — gonna try again in Feb!
Julie
Thank you, Jessica for posting this. Gives me a more specific plan for the head of cabbage that I am sure will come my way with this year’s CSA share. Loving the inspiration.
And continuing in the vein of the Pantry Challenge, husband and I made a dinner of leftover Hubbard squash puree and arborio rice–the resulting risotto was good and filling. Perfect one pan dinner for a night when boy is not home to eat with us. I will either need to bake with the rest of the squash or put it in the freezer for future inspirations. Either way, we will use it. I absolutely cannot stand letting fresh produce go bad and have to be thrown out.
Jessica
@Julie, I think that’s the trick to making a CSS work — having great recipes.

It’s SO PRETTY! And looks yummy, too! : )

Don’tcha know I’ll be making this tomorrow! I have the same ingredients in my crisper (I need to pick up some cilantro on the way home). What a crazy week this has been for me. I haven’t cooked one night. Leftovers and Costco have provided our meals and the free pizza I scored from Target tonight (a red card reward). Four straight days of putting on workshops has left me totally blotto at the end of each day. Thank goodness my dh isn’t a demanding soul.
Laurie
@Laurie, I made this tonight and it was a hit with the family. We’ll be eating the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, yum. (I think I need to toss my cumin and buy some fresh as the taste wasn’t as prominent as I would have liked)
