Cabbage is packed with vitamin C, has the power to reduce inflammation, and can improve heart health, yet the veggie does not get the amount of love it deserves. If you want to add cabbage to your diet in a delicious way, here are three dishes to do so. 

Coleslaw

The quintessential cabbage dish. Even people who don’t like cabbage tend to dig coleslaw. Shred your leaves (red and green both work well), add in some sliced carrots, and go wild with other toppings. Feel like giving it an Asian spin? Throw in some edamame beans, broccoli, and a peanut butter-soy sauce dressing.

Stuffed Cabbage

Cabbage works as an excellent vehicle to carry other ingredients. The people of Eastern Europe know this well as stuffed cabbage has been a part of their cuisine for years. Combine minced meat with rice, stuff into cabbage leaves, and cook in a tomato-based sauce.

Kimchi

If your tummy feels like it needs some TLC, kimchi can do the trick. The fermented cabbage is a staple at all Korean meals and works wonders for gut health. Cut your cabbage and other veggies, pour over a solution of water, vinegar, and sugar, and allow to sit in a jar to ferment.

It is easy to make good coleslaw that will pair well with your barbecue or serve as a side dish for a family meal. However, if you don’t want to settle for good and instead have perfect coleslaw every time, here are some tips that help you do so.

Make Sure to Remove Excess Water From the Cabbage

It is crucial to remove as much water from the cabbage as possible. If you fail to do so, you will end up with soggy and unappetizing coleslaw. A great way to avoid this is to shred the cabbage and salt it ahead of time. This way, the excess moisture will be drained, and your coleslaw will be perfectly crisp.

Don’t Go Overboard With the Dressing

Getting the right amount of dressing for coleslaw is crucial. You should add the dressing in batches and have a taste each time in order to hit that sweet spot. If you put all the dressing at once and go overboard, you will have a soggy coleslaw experience.

Experiment With Different Additions and Flavors

To make perfect coleslaw for your taste, you shouldn’t be afraid to experiment. Add some nuts and seeds to add your coleslaw, a crunchy component. Or simply try introducing a splash of hot sauce, soy sauce, or tamarind.

Use Fresh Veggies

This should go without saying, but the fresher the veggies, the better coleslaw you will have. If you use vegetables that have been sitting in your fridge for a while, you will be in for disappointment.
