Our modern palate has no idea of how special cabbage has been through the ages! Its mild flavor and crisp texture is wonderfully adaptable, and it’s incredibly healthy in unique ways. This recipe is a delight in every season - warming in cool weather, cooling in hot weather, a little exotic when I’m craving carry-out, and healthy when we’re trying to stay on track.

It’s wonderful to revisit the smooth, silky texture of our childhood jello with clean ingredients. This recipe is ridiculously quick and easy; I’ve broken out each step here for the newbies who may, like I did, feel intimated using plain gelatin for the first time. But everyone’s a jello expert the second time around!
