I used to be afraid of ginger.

It’s weird knobby and mangled looking exterior. It looked like the devil’s fingers. If the devil had fingers. Or if the devil even exists. That’s another discussion for another time.

The point is that I like ginger now. It all changed when I made a ginger and cabbage coleslaw with coconut milk (plus a bunch of other yummy stuff) for the dressing. Totally paleo and vegan. Also totally yummy.

Ok. My husband is the cook at my house and thankfully an avid follower of your blog. I asked him earlier in the day what we would be having for dinner, and he said a cabbage clementine salad. I gotta say, my expectations were pretty low. I mean I was just thinking about your typical cabbage salad with an asian twist and add some orange slices. BUT this salad. WOW. my goodness…knocked it out of the park. The perfect balance of spicy and sweet and so filling. Also, the crispy shallots…UGH, they just make anything better. I had two helpings at dinner, and then just scarfed down another helping for my lunch today. Thank you so much for posting this. It will be a go to in my house, that is for sure…well as long as my husband is cooking! Thanks!

So, funny – I had a fear of oranges for the first 25 years of my life! I avoided them completely. It was only when we first started cooking that I started opening up to old dislikes (there were many!), one of the toughest to crack being oranges. But now I enjoy them! This salad looks lovely (though at first glance the oranges reminded me of canned mandarin oranges, which I still can’t do! So maybe I’m not fully over it…) 🙂

The salad looks so beautiful, wonderful colors in it. I love when the natural colors of food make you want to just dive in!

Crispy cabbage and fresh juicy citrus sound like a pretty great midwinter salad to me! And it’s so beautiful on the plate too. 🙂

I am that way with gyros. I had a bad experience once, still haven’t gone back. This recipe looks so light and cheery! I love some crispy shallots.

This is so lovely. For whatever reason, I don’t tend to use a lot of orange in my cooking although I will happily finish things of with a squeeze of lemon or lime. This is a real inspiration.

I completely agree with you, many times its all a mental thing. I have been eating a lot of oranges but here in the UK they just don’t seem to taste as good as in Italy, where I am from. 🙁 anyway, i love the idea of the fried shallots in a salad combined with citrus! yum.
