German Slaw

Do you ever get weary of cutting salads in the winter? I don't know why I think about it more in the winter. Maybe it's because during the spring and summer my garden is always producing a new kind of vegetable or green for us to enjoy.

May I introduce you to a salad that will brighten your winter salad blues? It's full of color and bold on flavor. It's kind of like pickled cabbage and kind of like coleslaw. I make this regularly now and my girls eat it too. I've been gifting my big sisters a jar here and there and they have become regular fans.

Oh and I forgot to mention it has a nice crunch...
