Adapted from my new favorite cookbook, Leon Happy Salads, this cabbage salad is crunchy, tasty, and super easy.

Thin slices of cabbage (my “thin” slices are more chunky than what I would have preferred, but NBD)

I smashed raw hazelnuts and roasted them (note, when I made it this past weekend, I left the hazelnuts in the oven for too long and they were a little burned. OOPS)

This is a lot of parsley, but I like a lot of green in my salads.

Rainbow salad!
* Dressing is simple: olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper
Because of the crunchiness of the cabbage, this salad lasts for a couple of days even when dressed. Actually, it gets better with time. It is a great addition to any meal — a must make for summer nights!
Yum! I need to make more of an effort to have salads, I will definitley try this one 🙂
Healthy and colorful… love!
