Grapefruit, Radish, Cabbage Salad
For the past few months, citrus and cabbage have become two of my favorite foods! This light and flavorful salad combines them both in the most refreshing way. I use napa cabbage, which is especially tender and mild—more delicate than green or red cabbage, with a slightly sweet flavor and soft, crinkled leaves. It’s also a favorite in our house. My oldest daughter even likes to pack napa cabbage leaves in her school lunch! All four of our children devour this salad in no time. Napa cabbage is high in folate, calcium, vitamin C, along with gentle levels of glucosinolates—compounds that support your body’s natural detoxification processes through liver enzyme activation.
