Red Cabbage, Apple & Pomegranate salad
This tasty salad is a vibrant twist on a popular Danish dish combining fresh, seasonal ingredients for a deliciously nutritious side. It pairs perfectly with roast chicken and meats or pan-fried salmon. Red cabbage is packed with vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants, supporting immune health and aiding digestion. Pomegranates are loaded with vitamin C which boosts the immune system, supports collagen production for healthy skin and enhances iron absorption, vital for maintaining energy levels. Pomegranates are also rich in anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation, protecting cells from damage.
