Napa Cabbage SaladThis salad explodes with a number of delicious flavors. It's a bit like a healthy coleslaw, and it's really easy to vary based on what you have on hand. Cabbage Nutrition Cabbage is not a glamorous veggie, but it is very nutrient dense. Cabbage contains lots of beta-carotene, B-vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin K. It is also high in natural compounds that are protective against cancer. Cabbage is also quite versatile in recipes. You can cook it of course, but I really like it shredded in healthy salads like this one; I also like it in this sauerkraut recipe. A food processor makes preparation of healthy salad recipes like this a breeze. I resisted getting one for a while but now I am so glad I did. Napa Cabbage Salad with Cilantro, Ginger, and Figs
