It’s a four letter word, and it isn’t dirty. It’s “diet”. Ok, it’s not a real diet. It’s more of a cleanse. What do you eat when you want to have that swept clean feeling? Salad. Chomp on some Purple Cabbage Salad, and you too will feel enlightened.

the photo is gorgeous holly! You set it up so nicely.Forget cooking- keep setting up pictures! The problem (for me) with a salad like this is that after 2 bites I have had more than enough.I find cabbage too strong tasting and undigestible amongst other things. And if I need a cleanse I take a shower or do a load of laundry! (just bugging you..)
You never bug me. Just glad you are reading and commenting.
