Roasted Cabbage Salad With Spicy Lime Dressing

Roasted Cabbage Salad With Spicy Lime Dressing
Christopher Testani for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Spencer Richards.

Recipe by Kristina Felix | Total time: 45 minutes

This winter cabbage salad takes a cue from a classic Vietnamese cabbage and chicken salad and has plenty of kick from lime juice, serrano chiles and fish sauce. Tempeh and peanuts are roasted with the cabbage for varied texture and a hit of protein. Add more vegetables if you like: try halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber or charred green beans. The fish sauce and lime juice are your flavor makers, so don't be afraid to add more of either to suit your taste. The cabbage salad keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and is great at room temperature, perfect for a quick lunch.
