Quick and easy, creamy savoy cabbage salad with caramelised king oyster mushrooms.
Some of autumn’s best produce come together in this very simple savoy cabbage salad with a creamy, salty and tangy cashew miso dressing, and caramelised king oyster mushroom bits. This salad is light and very easy to make, yet absolutely satisfying and filling. It’s perfect for this time of the year, when you want something more satiating than a basic, green salad, but you still want a healthier option. This savoy cabbage salad makes a lovely, simple lunch with a slice of toast, or it’s a great side to any of your favourite autumnal main dishes. Especially good with pies or tarts, seitan roasts or baked and roasted veggies.
I am really glad that it’s finally autumn again. I know, it’s super lame, but nothing makes me happier, than walking in the cold weather, wearing my big scarfs and sweatshirts, watching the leaves turning into colourful beauties, and seeing all the wonderful fall produce in supermarkets and farmer’s markets. All the different cabbage types, squashes, apples, all so delicious! And cheap of course. Love it!
Autumn has been always my favourite season. When I was small, I loved that the school started again, that I could meet all my friends again, and that it was almost Christmas. When I was in high school, it was the time, when everybody went home right after school, cause it was cold and grey, and we just walked around in the city for endless hours with my best friend, talking about how lame are the others for not enjoying fall. Nowadays I feel I’m the most productive these days, I feel especially creative and inspired when I look out of the window. No idea why, I just really love this weather. And as I said, I looooooove autumn foods. I wish I could say I’ve collected these mushrooms as a lovely autumn activity, but I’m not that cool unfortunately.
Anyways, this salad is still pretty awesome, so if you’re into fall you should definitely make it! As always, feel free to make it with other cabbage or mushroom types, or use sunflower seeds, walnuts or pine nuts instead of cashews. Happy fall, lovely people!

Love love love!!! Cabbage- LOVE, mushrooms- LOVE, Autumn- LOVE!!! 🙂 I was trying to be that cool person who went mushroom picking into the woods over this last weekend…I found big, fat nothing in the woods, and come back home with the cold. I will stick to store mushrooms for now… 😉 x
Hahaha, that’s how I would imagine my mushroom collecting experience too 😀 Or maybe I’d come home with big, fat, poisonous mushrooms 😀
The dish looks absolutely delicious. I like those mushrooms on top, they are so inviting.
