Ensalada de Col Rojo y VerdeMany Mexican chefs in the United States have brought the spirit of innovation to Mexican cooking traditions with great success. Near the historic square in Sonoma, California, is Maya, a lively contemporary Mexican restaurant notable for both its traditional and imaginative Mexican dishes. This simple cabbage slaw is the creation of Chef Manual Arjona from Yucatán, a state at the tip of southern Mexico. The salad is topped with Pan-Roasted Tomatillo Sauce.
