How about a break from the holiday carb fest for something a little more colorful and crunchy? This tex mex slaw comes courtesy of Driftless Organics. The November storage box had in it not only a plethora of root vegetables but two beautiful heads of red cabbage. The roast corn is ridiculously easy to prepare, even in the middle of winter. Frozen corn can go a long way.
The slaw is a great side dish on its own, but it is even better as a taco filling. Fish tacos come to mind. Our tasty dinner consisted of seasoned ground turkey, a smear of sour cream and a mound of this beautiful purple slaw wrapped up in a corn tortilla.
It was hard to stop...
