    I am obsessed with no lettuce salads that use cabbage as a base. Cabbage is a great lettuce substitute because it will not get soggy. This Asian Chickpea Cabbage Salad with Spicy Cashew Dressing is my latest cabbage salad recipe and it is so good.

      This is so good. I’ve made this as a single meal with leftovers and for a potluck. When I brought this for for a group, the bowl was wiped clean. Crunchy, spicy, bold, delicious. You need this in your rotation. This one is a staple in my house and is SO good in every season. Packed full of protein and feel good ingredients.
