Sometimes I buy a head of cabbage that’s way too big for my needs and I’m left with a small head in my fridge. This roast red cabbage with avocado herb dressing is a great way to use up that cabbage head all in one shot, giving you a side dish that can go with just about anything. It requires minimal prep work too, leaving you more time to focus on the main feature of your meal, whatever that may be.
