Ginger Cabbage Salad

Hi hi! Excited to share this simple ginger cabbage salad. I LOVE a crunchy salad situation and this one is an all-time favorite. This is a salad you can actually make ahead of time and let it soak in the yummy ginger dressing. The cabbage softens and gets more flavor. No soggy lettuce!

I simply chop up the cabbage, soak it in water and baking soda to clean, rinse and let air dry. Once that’s done I add in rainbow carrots, english cucumbers, fresh cilantro and avocado for a bit of creaminess. All of these ingredients combined make for the freshest salad! Toss with my ginger dressing and it is perfection.

This recipe is a great side come spring or summer. I like to create a bowl for dinner with a protein (ground turkey, wild salmon or flank steak) and quinoa or rice. The combo is delicious.

See below for the recipes and steps to make. Enjoy!
