Red Cabbage and Pear Salad with Walnuts

February 4, 2015

 

Red Cabbage and Pear Salad with Walnuts - plant based, vegan, gluten free, rawRed cabbage used to not be on my grocery shopping list. I associated it with fatty German foods, because Germans eat their red cabbage traditionally cooked with lots of meat. Ever since I discovered that you can eat it raw, however, I have been in love. It’s a great alternative to regular green salad, and it has so many nutrients, you simply have to try it. The combination of pear and walnuts in this salad is heavenly. It’s once again a salad to impress – your body and your friends. Of course it’s loaded with many vitamins and minerals as well. The anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidants content of red cabbage is higher than in any other cabbage. The pears provide fiber, and the heart healhty benefits of walnuts are mostly due to their high omega-3 fats. So it really is the perfect winter salad.

    This was such a winner at our dinner table last night. I had never made red cabbage salad before and was surprised how amazing it was. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

    I’d love to try this for a lunch salad at work. Do you think I should hold the dressing until time to eat? Thanks for your advise and this yummy looking recipe.

      Hi Christine,
      I think you could really already add the dressing to the salad in the morning as cabbage actually gets better and more digestible with the dressing.

    I have an apple allergy. Could I subtitute the apple ingredients with alternatives? Thank you!

      Hi Katie,
      sure, just use any other natural juice such as grape, blueberry, pear, etc. You can replace the apple cider vinegar with white balsamic or white wine vinegar.
      All the best,
      Lynn
