This lively salad features the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power.

Cabbage contains numerous anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds that help the liver break down excess hormones. Cabbage also cleanses the digestive tract and soothes the stomach, which could be partially due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Cabbage is also an excellent source of vitamin C.
