This recipe came to be because I made a huge batch of Garlic Sauce for my brothers 30th birthday. I made roasted chicken, made this sauce and turned them into shawarma’s. They were delicious!  But I wanted to keep using the sauce and so I thought about the cabbage in my garden. When I put them together with sauteed tomatoes and cilantro, oh..my…goodness…so delicious!! And this is a very simple recipe to do as well. Enjoy my friends.

Saving Time:

Make Your Sauce ahead of time. The longest time is peeling the garlic to be honest!  So do this on a Sunday as part of meal prep, have kids help you peel the garlic and even pour in the oil as you blend it!  My 4 year old helped me make this sauce, and even though she doesn’t eat much of it, she loved to help! Everything else about that salad is very quick prep wise and you could get it done in the time it takes to roast the cabbage.
