Cucumber-Cabbage Salad with Tamarind Dressing

From the kitchen of Carly

Crisp cabbage and cucumbers meet tangy-sweet tamarind in this bright, crunchy salad. The dressing balances yogurt's coolness with ginger heat and toasted cumin, while mung sprouts add protein and snap. Cooling and addictive all at once.
