Cabbage Salad

This beautifully flavorful Cabbage Salad is so simple to make and so delicious! Add this bold and colorful salad to most any meal! GF option!

Cabbage might be my favorite vegetable in the universe.

You can make it into shredded cabbage salad, oriental coleslaw or you can roast it up (my personal favorite) and chuck it into beef and cabbage pasta bowls.

And now it’s probably the simplest little salad you will ever make but it packs this BIG, BOLD flavor that only gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.

It might just make a salad lover out of you. I’m calling it.

I recommend serving this asian cabbage salad alongside whatever you’re having as your main dish. Go ahead and get creative, because it pairs well with so many flavors. It would be delicious alongside some asian instant pot pork tenderloin or chinese five spice chicken thighs!

Salad FAQ

Can I eat cabbage raw in a salad?Although cabbage is commonly enjoyed cooked or in a casserole, you can absolutely shred it up and enjoy it raw in the form of a salad. Its crunchy and colorful goodness will add texture and flavor to your salads!

How long in advance can I make the salad?This is a recipe that you can easily make ahead of time to make busy mealtimes less chaotic and easier to get food on the table. I recommend making 1-2 days ahead of time if needed.

Can I use ALL red or green cabbage?If you want to just use one type of cabbage, go for it! However, using a combination of red and green cabbage will result in a more flavorful and colorful salad so I do recommend it!
