Happy New Year from Coffee, Cabs and Bar Tabs! I hope your 2017 has started off with a bang; I know I’m excited for a new year of new opportunities and experiences ahead.

Now that the new year is upon us, it’s officially time to start your new year’s resolutions! After a month of heavy eating and endless indulgences, I’m sure many of you (including myself) are looking for lighter meal options. So for my first recipe of the year, I wanted to create a light salad with tons of texture and intense flavor. I also wanted this salad to have some unique and interesting ingredients, instead of your classic toppings and greens. So here it is, a Carrot and Cabbage Salad with Miso Vinaigrette!

This colorful salad has the perfect balance of texture and flavor, thanks to the complex combination of shredded carrots and earthy white miso. The fresh cilantro and nutty sesame seeds transform a traditional slaw into a wonderfully delicious salad.
