Make-Ahead Cabbage Salad

This make-ahead cabbage salad is the perfect dish that only gets better with time.

Dont skip the step of massaging the dressing into the kale!

It helps soften it and also helps the greens absorb more of the flavor from the sweet-tart dressing.

This chopped salad is loaded with fiber and prebiotic chickpeas, promoting a healthy gut.

Green cabbage keeps the color vibrant and fresh, though red cabbage works just as well.

It goes with everything, from chicken and steak to tofu and grain bowls.

The simple vinaigrette brings everything together, with goat cheese adding a creamy finish.

Feel free to swap out any of the root vegetables for another of your choice.

Butternut squash, turnips or carrots would all work well.

Allowing the cabbage to sit before serving helps develop the flavor and soften the cabbage.

If you could’t find dried figs, try swapping in dried apricots.

Or add baked tofu, poached salmon or grilled chicken for a boost of protein.

If you have one handy, a small mandoline makes it easy to slice the Brussels and apple.

To make it a dinner salad, top with shrimp or chicken.
