Description
Prepare this quick, crisp cabbage salad featuring a bright, tangy vinegar-based dressing. It makes a refreshing side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 2 medium carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced red onion in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, celery seeds, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Toss all ingredients thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- For best flavor, let the salad rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the cabbage to absorb the dressing.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds or toasted sesame seeds just before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons.
- This salad holds up well for meal prepping; store the dressing separately if preparing more than two days in advance.
