This salad is under 10 minutes to prepare and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Paired with the ginger nut-butter savory dressing, you’ll be eating more cabbage than you ever thought you would! Perfect for your next summer BBQ and it’s Embody approved for detoxing.
Red cabbage is rich in vitamins C, K, & B’s and minerals such as iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron and is beneficial for the digestive track. It contains antioxidants with powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer properties.
We added sesame seeds to boost the nutrients–they are high in minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and selenium and vitamins E, folate and B’s. Sesame seeds nourish the nervous system, strengthen hormone production and benefit the digestive system.
Eat up loves!
We adore the dressing and use it instead of hummus with crudites and beyond! It’s also a family favorite and I love that my kids get added protein and fiber in their salad. We have a few other nut-butter dressings on our blog, check them out.
