cabbage
Cabbage recipes that will make you re-think this powerfully nutritious cruciferous green. Some of these recipes are all-in on the cabbage front (A Good Cabbage Salad), others take baby steps (Spring Roll Salad). Cabbage is known to support the digestive tract, as well as your cardiovascular system. It is also rich in vitamin C and K. Also, consider some of the red varietals which are rich in anti-inflamatory anthocyanins. Whether in slaws, salads, pastas or stews, these recipes celebrate cabbage. Enjoy!
Rustic Cabbage Soup
Hearty, healthy, and satisfying - this cabbage soup recipe is super simple to make. Slice a cabbage into thin ribbons and cook it down in a simple pot of sautéed potatoes, onions, beans, garlic and flavorful broth. Finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of great olive oil, a couple dollops of sour cream and a jolt of something spicy.
Shredded Un-Chicken Salad
A vegetarian take on the Chinese chicken salad of my youth. Toss shredded lettuces and cabbage, lots of cilantro, green onions, and the protein of your choice with a strong sesame-soy dressing punctuated with the bite of hot mustard. Forever one of my favorite salads.
Wonton Soup
A hearty wonton soup featuring pillows of wontons stuffed with tofu, cream cheese, shredded kale, scallions, and curry powder floating in a spicy miso broth and topped with a peanut-scallion sprinkle.
Tassajara Warm Red Cabbage Salad
Inspired by a recipe in The Complete Tassajara Cookbook, a warm winter salad made from sautéed shredded red cabbage. Feta, balsamic vinegar and golden raisins make it sweet and salty, rich with color, texture and flavor.

A show-stopper miso soup made with a spicy broth punched up with garlic, ginger and chile paste. To that you add cubed potatoes, chopped cabbage and summer produce like cherry tomatoes, basil, and corn.

Feathery green and red cabbages along with carrots, apples, and scallions tossed with a spicy, creamy sesame dressing.
Lime & Blistered Peanut Coleslaw
This feather-light, mayo-free, coleslaw recipe uses blistered peanuts, cherry tomatoes, and lime vinaigrette and is perfect alongside fajitas, or whatever you have coming off the grill. Keep in mind - great coleslaw is rooted in great knife skills.
Simple Farro & Bean Soup
The sort of hearty, timeless, comforting soup that helps in times like these. The foundation ingredients are flexible and straight from the pantry - grains, canned tomatoes, beans. There’s chopping to do, which keeps the hands busy and mind focused. And if you have a lot of produce that needs to be used, a soup like this is perfect - eat some, freeze some.
