Red Cabbage and Carrot Salad

I cannot have a day pass by and not have a salad, can you? But this red cabbage and carrot salad recipe is particularly delicious. A combo that is highly desirable and unforgettable.

I could easily eat a salad every day and never get bored or tired of them because the possibilities and the variety that you can make are endless.

The good thing about the salads, in general, is that those can be made really, really quick, they have that sweet, tangy taste, they are crisp, invigorating and super refreshing, and... apart from a soup, they can make a perfect lunch or a side to anything. 

I have made this recipe many, many times and it is one of those ones that you can have any time of the year. The last time I made this salad was a few days ago, I came back from work and asked the kids what they would fancy for dinner. The answer was a pretty quick and surprising one, my 10 and 8-year-old asked for a healthy salad,  “one of those delicious salads you make “, I was told, so I had to deliver ;-)).

If you eat this red cabbage and carrot salad on its own, as a main dish, you could go for a dressing that is a little richer, such as a peanut one (check the recipe notes) or you could add some chicken or beans for some protein so it gets a little more filling.

I have made this healthy carrot salad recently again and last time we had it as a side to this spinach and mushrooms stuffed chicken breast. Oh, it was a delicious dream!

You can certainly feel adventurous and add ingredients of your choice or liking.

Give this salad recipe a try!

Notes

Salad types wise, the choice is wide and you could use so many types depending on the season and availability but I particularly like the crunchy Chinese cabbage and you could add some red or green pepper, edamame beans, avocados, some nuts such as cashew or walnuts nuts and if you use cashew nuts I would definitely go for a peanut dressing (yuuuumm).
Add some herbs such as dill, parsley, basil, coriander or whatever you like and fancy.
For a peanut dressing you can use peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, some garlic if you like and can have, fresh ginger – wow, what a burst of freshness - my mouth is watery and I feel really hungry now. ?
Bon appetit!!?
