EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Eva Kolenko These vegan cabbage recipes all have top ratings of four and five stars, so you know you're in for something delicious. We use leafy cabbage to hold together low-carb wraps, bump up the veggies in our favorite soups and add crunch to tasty salads and slaws. Recipes like our Clean-Out-the-Fridge Vegetable Soup and Crunchy Summer Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing are so tasty, you'll want to keep them in heavy rotation. 01 of 20 Cabbage Slaw View Recipe Although it's not a traditional topping for American tacos, cabbage slaw is an essential ingredient when making fish tacos. This colorful, vinegar-dressed coleslaw can be made in just a few minutes. Use preshredded cabbage to make it even quicker. 02 of 20 Mediterranean Cabbage Soup View Recipe This vegan soup recipe is surprisingly easy to make. The flavorful broth is spiked with garlic, tomatoes and a hint of coriander. Just slice and dice your cabbage and fennel and you'll be enjoying this quick healthy soup in no time. 03 of 20 Peanut-Tofu Cabbage Wraps View Recipe Cabbage is a tasty low-calorie stand-in for buns or bread in this healthy, gluten-free lettuce wrap recipe. Don't limit yourself to cabbage for this recipe--any fresh green sturdy enough to wrap around 1/2 cup of filling works. 04 of 20 Cabbage Diet Soup View Recipe Loaded with cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, tomato and plenty of seasoning, this healthy vegetable soup packs in lots of flavor and is ultra-satisfying. This easy recipe makes a big batch for lunches or veggie-packed snacks all week. If you want to bump up the satisfaction factor even more, top with a little cheese or avocado. 05 of 20 Clean-Out-the-Fridge Vegetable Soup View Recipe Eva Kolenko This recipe is purposefully flexible so you can incorporate just about any veggie into it. 06 of 20 Vegan Burrito Bowls with Cauliflower Rice View Recipe These meal-prep vegan burrito bowls are healthier and more flavorful than takeout. Make them early in the week for grab-and-go meals when days are busy. We use frozen cauliflower rice, a low-carb substitute for white or brown rice, to cut down on prep time. 07 of 20 Crunchy Summer Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing View Recipe Remember back when dousing some iceberg lettuce with ranch dressing was considered healthy? We know better now, but a lackluster vinaigrette makes us want to skip the salad altogether. Without the buttermilk and mayo, is it even worth it? This dressing, made with creamy avocado and tangy umeboshi vinegar, will show you the possibilities. You can make it as-is or substitute whatever herbs you have on hand: parsley, basil and cilantro are all great options. The salad itself is a colorful, texture-rich antidote to the stereotypical boring salad, and it's also customizable. Here we use a base of romaine because it's crunchy and sturdy enough to stand up to a creamy dressing, but you can use kale, mixed greens or any blend of greens your heart (and fridge) desires. Same for the add-ins: You can sub in green beans for the asparagus, use black beans instead of chickpeas, or mix in additional veggies you have available like cucumber or shredded carrots. If you want to get extra fancy with it, try grilling the corn for an added smoky flavor. While this salad can be eaten as a side, it's strong enough to star as the entree. 08 of 20 Spicy Weight-Loss Cabbage Soup View Recipe Based on a popular weight-loss plan, this healthy cabbage soup recipe gets tons of flavor and a metabolism-boosting kick from spicy chiles. 09 of 20 Sichuan Ramen Cup of Noodles with Cabbage & Tofu View Recipe The Sichuan province in the southwestern corner of China is known for its fiery dishes. Here, the richness of tahini tempers the spicy chile paste in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar soup recipe. You can grind the Sichuan peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, or crush them with the bottom of a heavy skillet. 10 of 20 Vegan "Pancit Bihon" with Spaghetti Squash View Recipe Umami-rich shiitake mushrooms take the place of meat, and spaghetti squash strands stand in for the traditional rice noodles, in this riff on the classic Filipino noodle dish pancit bihon. Serve alongside your favorite vegan main or add some cubed tofu to make it a meal. 11 of 20 Thai-Style Chopped Salad with Sriracha Tofu View Recipe Prep four days' worth of high-protein vegan lunches using just four easy ingredients from your local specialty grocery store, including a veggie-heavy salad mix as a base. Because this salad mix is hearty, you can dress these bowls up to 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors in this healthy chopped salad to marry. If you can't find a hearty mix, go with broccoli slaw or shredded Brussels sprouts. 12 of 20 Asian Tofu & Edamame Salad View Recipe Craving crunch? Bite into this salad loaded with crisp red cabbage, edamame, bamboo shoots, and chow mein noodles. This salad is slightly sweetened with baked tofu, mandarin oranges, and Asian sesame vinaigrette. 13 of 20 Vinegary Coleslaw View Recipe Forget mayonnaise-laden coleslaw. The bright, clean flavors in this version go well with everything from tacos to barbecue. 14 of 20 Mexican Coleslaw View Recipe Enjoy this crunchy, refreshing alternative to mayonnaise-based coleslaw on a taco or on the side. 15 of 20 Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, White Beans & Basil View Recipe Roasted sweet potatoes are paired with spinach, cabbage and white beans and tossed together with a bright basil dressing in this healthy main dish salad. 16 of 20 Vegan Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowl with Creamy Green Sauce View Recipe In a vegan riff on green goddess dressing, cashews provide a creamy base with tons of flavor from herbs and apple-cider vinegar. Drizzle it all over this bowl of quinoa and roasted vegetables to make a satisfying vegan dinner or easy packable lunch that is ready in just 30 minutes. 17 of 20 Blueberry-Cabbage Power Juice View Recipe This healthy blueberry-cabbage power juice recipe is loaded with anthocyanins, which give the juice its pretty purple color and pack it with powerful antioxidants to keep your memory sharp. No juicer? No problem. See the juicing variation below to make this power juice recipe in a blender. 18 of 20 Dan Dan Noodles with Seitan, Shiitake Mushrooms & Napa Cabbage View Recipe Sichuan peppercorns add a touch of floral heat to this mushroom-and-cabbage-loaded riff on dan dan noodles. Look for protein-rich vegetarian seitan--processed wheat gluten with a meaty texture-- near refrigerated tofu in large supermarkets or natural-foods stores. The actual weight of the seitan in a package varies depending on whether water weight is included. Look for the undrained weight on the label. 19 of 20 Simple Sauerkraut View Recipe Want to learn how to make sauerkraut at home? For this easy homemade sauerkraut recipe, choose fresh, firm heads of cabbage and use canning, pickling or kosher salt (not iodized salt). To be sure your cabbage-to-salt ratio is right for fermentation, start with as close to 5 pounds of untrimmed cabbage as you can. To ensure success, pack the cabbage mixture into the container as tightly as possible (eliminating any air pockets) and be sure it stays submerged in the brine at all times. 20 of 20 Roasted Savoy Cabbage with Black Bean-Garlic Sauce Roasting cabbage brings out its rich, nutty flavor.
