Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. These are the five taste elements that build our overall perception of flavor. When each element is perfectly balanced, they come together to form a Voltron of flavor. Today, we celebrate sour with a recipe for pickled cabbage. Topping your Taco Tuesdays with pickled cabbage will not save the universe, but it will rescue your family from another boring dinner.
