Add Kamut to Hearty Cabbage Salad

Im not one to not cater to my cravings. If Im in the mood for ice cream, I usually eat it. If Im in the mood for a hot dog, I have one. I try not to have too many of the indulgent things I crave, but I satisfy my cravings all the time.

This recipe was created from a cravingand this time it was for something surprisingly healthy. That doesnt always happen. But when it does I get really excited. Ive been eating terribly for the last couple of weeks; doughnuts here, ice cream there and lots and lots of tacos. I realized yesterday, as I was eating a plate of chicken wings, that I hadnt had a vegetable in a while and I missed them. I missed healthy grains, too.

This recipe is refreshing, light and filling all at the same time. Its the type of salad you want to eat for dinner, and then save a portion of it so you can have the rest for lunch the next day. Its resilient to sitting in the fridge for a day or so. The flavors are familiar but also interesting. A little kick from the ginger and Sriracha make it fun, while the lime juice and mint make it really refreshing.

Its a feel-good salad, because sometimes thats what youre craving.
