The pointed cabbage salad is cheap and very easy to make. You can quickly make a large portion of salad for many people - or for many days! And the recipe for pointed cabbage salad also fits most things, so there is good reason to make a large portion.

Ingredients for cabbage salad with apples

• Pointed cabbage (can be replaced with purple pointy cabbage, red cabbage and white cabbage)
• Apples (gives a nice sweet-sour contrast)
• Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds (gives flavor and crunch to the salad. Feel free to replace with other seeds and kernels)
• Yogurt dressing (from grass-fed yogurt or skyr, whichever you prefer)

Tips for salad with kale

• The pointed cabbage can be chopped both coarsely and very finely, depending on your preference. If the cabbage is very young and fresh, it tastes great with slightly wider strips. However, we would recommend that you chop it very finely (preferably on a mandolin) if you are using a coarser head of cabbage.
• You can easily replace apples with other fruits and berries. In the summer, for example, juicy strawberries and raspberries are wonderful.
• Feel free to add herbs to the salad. Mint and parsley are good choices.
• The salad keeps well in the fridge for at least a day, so it can be prepared in advance.
