Refreshing cabbage salad recipe with bean sprouts, feta cheese, cranberries, and sliced almonds with a simple balsamic dressing.
Remember when I shared this Poutine Gravy Fries dish that I replicated after visiting Canada? Well, at the same pub that we ate those scrumptious fries I ordered a salad similar to this Cabbage Salad with Bean Sprouts, but they called it “Black Frog Salad!†lol
I asked the server what the significance was and she didn’t have an answer, which I was bummed about because there has to be a story behind a name like that, right?! The only connection that I can think of is maybe the bean sprouts resemble the spindly legs of a frog? I don’t know! Any guesses?
I liked that this salad is made with simple ingredients; homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing, almond slices, bean sprouts (frog legs?), followed with a punch of tang from the feta cheese. The crunchy textures work quite well together. It was a good choice to order an indulgent dish like poutine with a refreshing salad!
I think this salad is very close to the version we ate at the restaurant. I’ve made it a half dozen times already. Sam thought it needed to be a little sweetener and suggested adding dried cranberries. He was right! Salty and sweet flavors are always a winning combination!
Serve this salad with chicken skewers, General Tso’s slow cooker chicken or serve yourself a large portion and dinner is set!
