Meal Plan Monday #408

It's been chilly (which I like) and rainy (which I don't), so we're serving up some fall foods this week. We tried a Caesar salad made with Napa cabbage and sunflower sprouts at a favorite restaurant, Tarasque Cucina, a few weeks ago. I can't get sunflower sprouts, but we are both really enjoying salads made with Napa cabbage. It's far milder that regular green or red cabbage, but it's more flavorful than any lettuce I can think of. I slice it very thin and toss with store-bought dressing, grated parmesan, and croutons. I highly recommend it!
