We had joined the family for dinner a few nights ago, and as luck would have it, we decided to enjoy dinner out. Once the decision was made to eat out, next we had to decide where. Quickly we all found ourselves agreeing on the same place, our favorite Mexican food restaurant.
Once there we were quickly given menus and the usual basket of chips and salsa, except this, was not the usual tomato salsa, this was a delicious chopped Cabbage Salsa. Honestly, I had never enjoyed a salsa that was not tomato-based. But once tasted, I am sure I ate more than my fair share!
Now the quest was on, could I make this myself, at home?
I will definitely be making this Cabbage Salsa again because there is always a good reason to enjoy crunchy chips with salsa. Such as Mondays or being hungry before dinner, or Thursdays, and of course the usual, Taco Tuesday!
