I love simple, raw, shredded red cabbage salads. This red cabbage orange salad with dried cranberries, sweet and juicy citrus fruit, green onions and fresh-tasting parsley and mint is packed with goodness.<\/p>\n

I guess you could say coleslaw is sort of a North American thing. And as I discovered also a Scandinavian favorite too. Which makes it one of my favorite things about traveling to Stockholm for work. That and pancake Thursdays (also pea soup Thursdays, which I haven\u2019t yet acknowledged). We have a canteen. Something we don\u2019t have in Hamburg. A Nordic canteen with tasty offerings of simple, fresh, local, and seasonal Scandinavian dishes \u2013 one with an understated but fantastic salad bar, not as in “fantastic-it-gets-my-pulse-racing” fantastic, but rather one that satisfies my vegetable loving heart. They most always have two or three Swedish versions of cabbage salad, perhaps a lentil salad and a grain salad, always crisp peas and shredded carrots (okay, that provokes a small yawn, but tasty nonetheless), and some other fantastic seasonal vegetable salad. Greens? I guess so, but they aren\u2019t the center attraction.<\/p>\n

So yes, this vibrant and luscious red (or shall I say luscious purple) cabbage salad was inspired by my last visit to our Stockholm canteen where there was a fabulous red cabbage and orange salad with poppy seeds. A coleslaw to be exact. I loved it and had to recreate it. Though, I pepped up my version with fresh green herbs \u2013 mint and parsley and some chopped up naturally sweetened dried cranberries. So good. Have I mentioned how absolutely delicious this was? Pure simple deliciousness. Not to mention ultra healthy.<\/p>\n

\nBesides its ability to brighten up a gloomy winter day, this vibrant salad doubles up as the perfect festive holiday side dish (or that oh-so-far-off summer BBQ). Winter — okay technically fall — needs a little color inspiration from time to time, right? I bet it\u2019s amazing along a traditional roast goose. Okay if goose isn\u2019t on the menu than I am sure it also works great along your favorite pot roast.<\/p>\n

But actually it\u2019s the perfect anytime salad that holds well if you are pre-making it or want to savor leftovers as an easy healthy lunch. I bet you could even top it with some canned tuna, if you are looking for a light, low-calorie and filling lunch.<\/p>\n
