When I think of cabbage, I think of coleslaw and cabbage rolls. I have a few scrumptious coleslaw recipes (below), but I’ve been shortsighted in cabbage’s versatility. Since it’s one of those winter veggies that’s so prolific, it’s time to get cracking on some new recipes. So here are a few purple cabbage recipes that have caught my eye!

Purple Cabbage Recipes
If you’re wondering about the different between purple cabbage and red cabbage – it’s just color and it’s all just dependent on the ph of the soil!
In terms of cabbage varieties, there are differences. You can see a good image here of the types of cabbage, including bok choy, brussel sprouts, and kale. Green and purple cabbage are most commonly found in slaw recipes. Savoy and Napa cabbage have soft leaves and are quite delicious in Chinese food and in this cabbage pasta!
Asian Red Cabbage Salad with Chicken
This Asian Red Cabbage Salad with Chicken and a tangy dressing that includes peanut butter and soy sauce is a yummy dish any time of day!
For my weeknight version of this recipe, I add kielbasa to the red cabbage to make it a main. Cut the cooking in half by charring wedges of the cabbage.
