This vibrant red cabbage salad is a refreshing vegan side dish that balances sweet, tart, and earthy notes. The combination of crisp Granny Smith apple and toasted walnuts provides a satisfying crunch, while the lingonberry preserves add a sophisticated Scandinavian-inspired sweetness. It is a colourful addition to any table, offering a bright contrast to savoury main courses or acting as a standalone light lunch.

Naturally plant-based and packed with nutrients, this salad is particularly well-suited for autumn and winter dining when red cabbage is at its best. The sharp red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard in the dressing cut through the richness of the walnuts, creating a well-rounded flavour profile. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or as a zesty accompaniment to a festive spread.
