5 from 1 vote

This easy everyday salad salad packs a nutritional punch! The red cabbage and tomatoes are good sources of Vitamin A. Avocado and olive oil are rich in Vitamin E. The vegetables in general will provide some Vitamin K. And the fat from the avocado and olive oil will help your body absorb these fat-soluble vitamins.

1 cup red cabbage shredded
1 cup tomatoes diced
1 cup cucumbers sliced
1 avocado diced
1 cup kidney beans cooked
1 pomegranate seeds only, optional
2 radishes thin sliced; mix up varieties for added color

2 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, cooked kidney beans, pomegranate seeds, and sliced radishes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well coated (or don't toss if you want a prettier presentation, like in the photo). Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped mint, dill, and/or parsley.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a few minutes before serving if you prefer a cool salad.
