If the beauty of salad comes from its variety, color, flavor and nutritional value, then using cabbage as a main ingredient will be all the more fun to prepare. With cabbage, you can indulge in a different variety every time. Plus every kind of cabbage has many beneficial, nutritional properties for the body. Salad with cabbage works great as a side dish or for a rich, unique dish on its own (i.e. during a detox). Take your pick!
Salad with white cabbage
There are those who love cabbage during the cold months of winter and simply can’t do without it, and then there are those who just really do not appreciate it at all. And for the latter, this might be the opportunity to change their minds after a taste of this salad. If you use cabbage (e.g. white cabbage), you can also make it sweet and sour or enhance the flavor with an orange sauce. And the queen of cabbage salads? American coleslaw!
Salads with red cabbage
Especially popular in winter, red cabbage salad is made with orange or red cabbage and mandarins. Or you could combine purple cabbage with lemon for another salad with some citrus flavor. If you want a salad with richer (though lighter) red cabbage, try a salad with red cabbage, lettuce and robiola cheese! You can also combine several varieties of cabbage in the same recipe – such as salad with white and red cabbage or a cabbage and fennel salad with pear to use some other seasonal ingredients. Then there’s the cauliflower, red cabbage and lemongrass salad.
Salads with cauliflower and broccoli
Yep – that’s because when it comes to cabbage and cauliflower, they’re not all that different if you think about it! A warm salad with green cauliflower, pumpkin and black cabbage is a triumph of superfoods. Another rich idea is a salad with lettuce, green beans and cauliflower. And let's not forget recipes like broccoli with potatoes and cauliflower or Jerusalem artichokes and pomegranate sauce. Sounds deliciously fresh, right?
