This vibrant salted red cabbage is a versatile vegan side dish that brings a refreshing crunch and bright acidity to any meal. By massaging the cabbage with salt, you soften its fibrous texture while preserving its deep purple colour, creating a slaw-like consistency without the need for heavy dressings. The addition of toasted fennel seeds provides a subtle, aniseed-like warmth that pairs beautifully with the tangy apple cider vinegar.
Ideal for autumn and winter dining, this healthy salad works exceptionally well alongside roasted meats, plant-based nut roasts, or stuffed into flatbreads. It is a fantastic make-ahead option for busy households, as the flavours continue to meld and improve when stored in the fridge. This simple preparation is a great way to elevate humble seasonal vegetables into a sophisticated accompaniment.

How to make Salted Red Cabbage
Back to contentsToast fennel seeds in a dry small skillet over medium-low, tossing, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; transfer to a small bowl.
