While cabbage doesn't have the same vibrant colors as other nutrient-packed produce, don't let that trick you into thinking it's anything but healthy. A cruciferous vegetable, cabbage is in the same family as broccoli, kale and cauliflower. And like other cruciferous veggies, it has a plethora of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and compounds that may help lower your risk of certain cancers. One cup of raw shredded cabbage will give you about 2 grams of fiber and 28% of your daily vitamin C, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Is This Recipe Vegan? Because we use honey in the dressing, as is, this recipe is not vegan. However, you could swap the honey for agave to make it vegan-friendly. Diana Chistruga Tips from the Test Kitchen What Type of Cabbage Should I Use? We use green cabbage for this salad, the most common variety of cabbage. Green cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that's versatile and inexpensive. Green cabbage is round and compact with tightly packed smooth leaves and a mild flavor. Feel free to mix in other types of cabbage in the salad, like red cabbage, napa cabbage or savoy cabbage for a variety of colors and textures. What's the Best Way to Cut Cabbage for This Salad? You can use packaged shredded cabbage in a pinch, but we recommend prepping it yourself. Cut the cabbage into very thin strips with a knife or shred it with a mandoline, following our step-by-step guide. How to Serve Simple Cabbage Salad Serve this cabbage salad as a side dish with grilled chicken, grilled steak or grilled fish. Use it as a topping for fish tacos, tostadas or burrito bowls. For a classic pairing, add it to pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwiches at your next BBQ.
