Vegetarian Warm Cabbage & Apple Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing

Tender wilted cabbage, sweet-tart apple slices, and a punchy ginger-lime dressing come together in a skillet for something that feels far more exciting than a typical side salad. The combination of fresh ginger and turmeric gives the dressing a bright, slightly earthy warmth, while coconut aminos add a savory depth without any soy in sight. Cooking the cabbage until it's just wilted — still with a little bite — keeps the texture interesting, and the apples go in at the last minute so they stay crisp and juicy rather than turning to mush. Everything gets tossed together over heat so the dressing absorbs right into the vegetables instead of pooling at the bottom of a bowl. Honey rounds out the lime and ginger with just enough sweetness to make the whole thing feel balanced and craveable. A handful of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the table take it over the top. It works beautifully as a weeknight side or a light lunch on its own, and the whole thing comes together in a single pan.
