Y’all, doesn’t it feel like it’s been back-to-back heavy meals for the past 6 months? Not that it hasn’t been fun, but my 40-year-old digestive system just can’t hang anymore. I’m finding that if I make sure I get some kind of raw vegetable in a few times a day, I feel so much better and my body isn’t so taken down by the “indulgences” we all take part in. But can we do that, while our taste buds still think we’re indulging?

Absolutely, and this vegetable salad is proof of that. Shredded cabbage, a tangy sweet vinegar dressing with ginger and orange. Peanuts and herbs. It’s such a bright and “alive” dish, and goes great with any protein you pair it with.

By bringing the dressing to a boil first, we’re able to use it to slightly cook the cabbage and take out some of that “raw cabbage” harshness, while keeping the texture crunchy and fresh.

So if you’re running short on time and looking for a new salad to make, or a quick side dish you can pull together in 10 minutes, give this vegetable salad a try! I really think you’ll love it.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

It’s been over a year since we started designing our bathroom. We were working with Unique Kitchens and Baths for the cabinetry, and they came up with two different layouts. We selected one, tweaked it a bit and chose a lot of the finishes…annnnnd honestly we could never quite give the final “go ahead.” This […]

How many servings is this recipe for?
Probably 4
Made this the other night and we loved it! So fresh, tasty, and healthy. It goes well with a teriyaki or Asian inspired protein. I added sunflower and pumpkin seeds with my peanuts. Planning on making as a side for my summer gatherings, thank you for sharing!
Looks yummy! How large of a bag of cabbage slaw?
The smaller ones.
Made the salad tonight for dinner for my husband’s bday. We devoured it, it was so delicious. I’m putting it on my weekly menu. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Do you think coconut sugar would work?
Absolutely. It will make it a little more brown/tan, but the flavor would be great.
Sounds delish!
You remove the ginger once dressing has been simmered, right?
Correct
Oh yum!
