| The Perfect Meal Compliment |
Recipe by Robin
Years ago a frugal friend turned me on to Santa Cruz’s El Palomar Taco bar, where we ate an assortment of cheap and delicious tacos in hot-off-the-presses handmade tortillas. Just as intriguing as the tacos was the garnish, a tangy cabbage slaw. I couldn’t get enough, and always asked for extra, to the surprise of the servers. Alas, it seems to have dropped off the menu in post-pandemic times. Unlike most veggies, cabbage is available year-round. So winter is a perfect time to unravel the mystery of Mexican slaw. Although any season is perfect for this slaw, since cabbage and carrots are always readily available. It's also a delicious way to use up leftover cilantro.
