Make It This Way
If you have a little time on your hands, why not try buying a fresh head of cabbage, some carrots and broccoli and cut up your own salad. It will taste fresh and won’t have any added preservatives or pesticides like a bagged salad.
Make this dish with your own homemade mayo, or buy a vegan one at the store to make it more accommodating to all eating styles.
