The cabbage is a brassica plant. The following are brassicas, too...broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, pak choi and kohlrabi. Only you can tell whether any one of those fits into your crossword grid! (It would help if you mentioned the total number of letters in the answer and also any which you have already got.)

The answer to the salad question should be endive or chicory
