Cabbage Salad

This quick and easy recipe for high raw vegan Cabbage Salad came about because I did not like any of the cabbage salad recipes I found online. This however is delicious, and it could not be any easier to make! There is one vegetable to chop, the rest are open bag, measure and dump. A little pre-planning is required to thaw the frozen vegetables before mixing the ingredients or you can mix frozen vegetables into the salad if you are making it a day ahead. Always, you can skip the bagged frozen veggies for fresh ANY time, just mind the weight or measurements!
