Cabbage salad with radishes, cucumbers, scallions & citrus vinaigrette


This salad comes together quickly and it is a great way to use up your cabbage. Like turnips, cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which means that it may provide protection against some cancers. And, it contains vitamin C and vitamin A.

Chinese cabbage- julienned
cucumber, chopped
radishes, julienned
scallions, julienned

Toss the cabbage and vegetables together and dress with the vinaigrette.

  1. We also got those radishes. Radishes?! I didn't know what to do with them, so I included them in quinoa tabouleh.

    I'm enjoying your blog. It is very helpful.

  2. I never bought radishes for home use before I joined the CSA. Now I love them! Then one week they weren't included in the share and I really missed them. Ooo, quinoa tabouleh sounds like a great way to get your whole grains (and complete protein!). Can you share the recipe?
