It snowed last weekend. Yes, winter arrived earlier than usually. Can you believe it? I hope this doesn’t lead us into lots of cold weather down the road since I am not up for it yet. I mean, I am really never up for it, except that I need some snow to enjoy my time on the slopes.

Today, another day back in the high 60’s with sunshine, so hey, let’s start the grill, right? I barbequed a nice pork tenderloin and needed a good salad along side. This is what I came up with.

A crunchy red cabbage kohlrabi salad dressed with an Asian inspired spicy peanut butter flavored sauce. Fresh and healthy!

Lea Ann October 11, 2011 at 11:27 pm: Kirsten, that top photo may be your best photo yet! Beautiful. And love that Ikea plate. I had that in my hand this past weekend and didn't get it. The salad sounds wonderful. I love cabbage.
Anna October 11, 2011 at 11:00 pm: This salad looks so fresh and crisp! I am also having difficulty looking for the grape seed jalapeno pepper oil. How do I get hold of this? Thanks!
sweet road October 11, 2011 at 8:17 pm: The colors here are so vibrant, and I mean, anything with peanut sauce is good enough for me!
Boulder Locavore October 11, 2011 at 7:10 pm: This looks so fresh and crunchy! I have trouble with tossed salad once it gets cold. This would fill the bill completely. L-O-V-E the plate and background. Groovilicious!
