Indulge in a symphony of flavors and textures with our crunchy cabbage salad, a delightful fusion of freshness and crunch. This vibrant salad features finely shredded green cabbage as its base, complemented by a medley of colorful ingredients that bring a burst of flavor in every bite. Red cabbage adds a pop of color and a slightly peppery note, while carrots lend a natural sweetness and crunchy texture. Crisp cucumbers provide a refreshing coolness, while red onions add a sharp, pungent flavor. Topped with a sprinkling of sunflower seeds for an extra crunch and nutty flavor, this salad is a feast for the senses.
Accompanying this crunchy cabbage salad are two additional recipes that cater to different taste preferences. For those who enjoy a creamy, tangy dressing, the creamy cabbage salad offers a luscious combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and a hint of sweetness. The creamy dressing envelops the cabbage and vegetables, creating a rich and satisfying salad that is sure to please.
If you prefer a lighter, more vibrant dressing, the vinaigrette cabbage salad is an excellent choice. This dressing features a harmonious blend of olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey, resulting in a tangy, flavorful dressing that enhances the natural flavors of the cabbage and vegetables.
Whether you opt for the classic crunchy cabbage salad, the creamy cabbage salad, or the vinaigrette cabbage salad, you are in for a delightful culinary experience. These salads are not only visually appealing but also packed with nutrients, making them a healthy and delicious addition to any meal.

Steps:
- For the salad: Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat with a fork. Toss in a large bowl along with the scallions, red pepper, cabbage, lettuce, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, cilantro, peanuts and chow mein noodles. With a sharp knife, cut the peel from one of the oranges, then cut the segments away from the membranes. Coarsely chop the segments, then add them to the bowl. Slice the other orange in half and squeeze over a small bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons juice.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together the reserved orange juice, hoisin sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified and thick; season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, then season with salt and pepper. Toss and serve.
CRUNCHY VIETNAMESE CABBAGE SALAD WITH PAN-SEARED TOFU
Cabbages are the quintessential storage vegetable. You can cut a cabbage in quarters or thirds and use one piece at a time. The other hunks will keep, wrapped well in the vegetable crisper, for at least two weeks, and potentially a lot longer if you mist them with water every once in a while. That means you can buy one large cabbage and use it several times for different recipes, experiencing the deceptively versatile vegetable many ways. Fried tofu turns this Vietnamese-inspired slaw into more of a meal.

Steps:
- Place the panko, peeled and smashed garlic cloves and thyme sprigs in a medium skillet and set over medium-low heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the panko and cook, stirring often, until the panko is golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Discard the garlic and thyme, then spread the panko on a large plate to cool.
- While the breadcrumbs are cooling, place the cabbage on a cutting board with the root end facing up; cut in half. Place each half cut-side down and then cut each half into 2 equal wedges. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cabbage wedges into thin ribbons, making sure to avoid slicing the core. (Keeping the core intact helps to hold cabbage in place and makes slicing easier.) Place the sliced cabbage and kale in a large serving bowl.
- Peel and halve the beets. Shave the beet halves with a sharp knife or mandoline into thin half-moon slices and place in the bowl with the sliced cabbage and kale.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the grated garlic clove, vinegar and honey. Whisking continuously, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Stir in the grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss the salad with the vinaigrette until evenly dressed. Sprinkle with the almonds, toasted breadcrumbs and shaved Parmesan just before serving.
CRUNCHY RED CABBAGE SLAW SALAD
Another recipe that I collected with an eye to eating healthier. I think red cabbage is underused anyway. If you threw some cooked chicken in with this if you wanted a bit more substance in this light meal. You could also more than likely use light mayo to make it even lower in fat. This is from British TV cook Silvana Franco and was first published in the July 2006 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine.
