I have always been a huge fan of cabbage salad. But I needed a simple one for the meal I was serving, so I experimented with some very fresh, savory ingredients. The end result was incredible and every guest left with a copy of the recipe.
I love the fresh note the dill adds to this salad and the bitterness of the radishes and acidity of the lemons works so well with the creamy tahini dressing.
It’s bright and gorgeous and so healthy, so you can enjoy bowl after bowl of deliciousness
