This kale cabbage salad has more health benefits than those you’ll find in a standard iceberg lettuce salad. Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage are very rich in nutrients including vitamins C, K, E, five, carotenoids and glucosinolates. The Glucosinolates are a huge help in fighting off cancer, so I am all about eating as much cabbage, watercress, broccoli, kale and other cruciferous vegetables.
Healthy and vibrant salad. Support detoxification and high in vitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, folic acid.
- 1 package (8 oz) tempeh I bought the product from local Trader's Joe and it's precooked (ready to eat, unseasoned)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- salt/black pepper to taste
- 1 cup kale chopped
- 1 cup red cabbage shredded
- 1 cup green cabbage shredded
- 1 cup radicchio shredded
- 1/2 avocado chopped (use less or more according to your liking)
- 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds use less or more according to your liking
Cut tempeh into small pieces and season with cumin powder, curry powder, salt/black pepper
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium high heat and cook tempeh for about 3-5 minutes or until brown. Set aside
Combine together the fresh kale, cabbages, radicchio, pomegranate, avocado and tempeh in a salad bowl.
Serve with Sesame Salad Dressing

How delicious!! Wow this looks so good and so simple to make too! I love making salad with leftovers also. Sounds great!
I am certain that the dressing really makes this dish since kale can have a strong taste. Paired with sesame dressing, I bet it is delish!
Hi Krystal, yes the dressing is key on this one. I eat a lot of cabbage but it can be a bit dry too, so finding the right dressing for this salad was key. I think the pomegranates also helped so the kale and cabbage didn’t overpower the taste. Other fruits would work well too, such as blueberries or apple slices.
Omg can we say yum?!! This salad looks absolutely delicious!!! I must give your recipe a try
What a wonderful-looking salad. We had salad two days in a row this week and loved it.
