Make this quick, crisp cabbage salad featuring a bright, tangy vinegar-based dressing. It serves well as a fresh side dish for grilled meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and red onion in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, celery seeds, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  4. Toss all ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For an Asian flavor profile, substitute the Dijon mustard with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in the dressing.
  • This salad holds up well for meal prep; store the dressing separately if preparing more than one day in advance.
  • Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley for extra color and freshness.
