What kind of cabbage should you use
You can use any type of cabbage you prefer. I like to use mixed color cabbage to add more vibrancy to the salad. You can use any type of cabbage you prefer.
Roasted almonds and cranberries
I am currently obsessed with oven roasted almonds and cranberries…so obsessed that I have made it as a salad topping that I keep in a cool cupboard ready to be used at all times. If you have already made my salad topping, you can just skip the instructions for almonds and cranberries in this recipe and use the best salad topping in its place.
What to do if you are allergic to nuts
If you are allergic to nuts you can replace the almonds with roasted pumpkin seeds, roasted chickpeas or leave them out altogether.
How is this delicious colourful cabbage salad made? It’s very easy. Just:
