Delicious and colorful salad
These are the top reasons why I would make this salad:
- Low in calories yet filling: a great choice for light meals.
- An excellent vegan meal-prep option: it stays fresh even the next day.
- A wonderful side dish: pairs well with vegan, vegetarian, meat, and fish dishes.
- Rich in nutrients and color: something we especially need during the cold months.
- A great side for the holidays (Christmas, New Year’s celebrations), or a quick vegan main dish during the week.
- The salad is suitable for vegans, and it is gluten-free and lactose-free.
What to serve with this colorful cabbage salad
This wonderful colorful salad can be a light vegan main dish, or you can serve it as a side to various meat or fish mains. We last served it with Podravka spinach patties, but it also goes great with any of these dishes:
- Polpette
- Broccoli Fritters
- Zucchini Fritters
- Crispy Air Fryer Whole Chicken
- Braised Pork Shoulder with Pepper Tomato Sauce
- Boneless Pork Loin Roast with Sage and Garlic
Storing
It’s best to prepare this salad fresh, just before serving.
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
