As promised; a lighter, fresher, vegetarian option for St. Patty’s Day (or any day really).
I love raw cabbage and I tend to think this simple, nourishing veggie is often overlooked. Its a no-frills kind of veggie that is both inexpensive and super versatile, so stop overlooking this beautiful, purple gem.
When I was growing up, sliced red cabbage was a staple in our weeknight green salad but these days I love to make it the star of the show.
This fresh, hearty, crunchy salad can hold it’s own as a nice light meal and also pairs perfectly along side whatever else is being served (during the summer, I make it along side of these Soy Chicken Thighs).
If corned beef and cabbage is not your thing on St. Patty’s Day, you absolutely should give this a try.

Red cabbage does go well in salads. This salad sounds tasty. I really like the use of the dill.
What’s better than crunchy health food? I’m all over this one, Dani!
Kevin – I agree, cabage is GREAT in salads!
Susan – I don’t know!! Enjoy!
Hi Danny,
This salad looks deelish, and I think I will give it a try and take it into work for my coworkers ..a kind of after st paddys weekend surprise.
Corned beef n cabbage soup sounds great too..one of my fave dishes btw…..I make it often throughout the year.
Thank you as always!
This was delicious! The only thing I am doing next time around is using less celery in really small slices, last time I cut them in big chunks and it was a little too dominant in the flavor, and I love celery. I make a big batch and after a day in the fridge with all of the flavors mixing, it just gets better and better! Thanks Dani!
So glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know:)
What’s the measurement of each serving? (:
