This vegan salad uses a trio of cabbages – sweetheart, red and kale. Cabbages come in hundreds of varieties. All are economical and go a long way – perfect for healthy eating on a budget.

Method

Toss the red cabbage with the salt in a colander and set aside in the sink to drain for about 10 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan until very hot. Halve the sweetheart cabbage lengthways then cut half into 4 wedges, leaving the stem intact.
Brush the cut sides with the rapeseed oil. Griddle for 3 minutes on each side until well charred – working in batches if needed. Resting a heatproof weight on top of the wedges, such as a heavy saucepan, will help them char better. Set aside to cool.
