I am not sure where my autumn breeze went! The Fall season was teasing me. No matter, it is Fall and this is a perfect Fall salad recipe. This is a wonderful crisp cabbage, carrot slaw scented with cumin. A low fat, low calorie and high-fiber dish.

I'm surprised with the addition of cumin in this dish. It is one of my favorite spices, and I use it in several dishes, but never tried it with these vegetables. Must try it. and thank you for such a healthy dish. As the season of cabbage and caroot is approaching here, this will be on my top list to try soon.
