You will love this fresh, crisp cabbage salad tossed in a light, tangy vinaigrette. It is a quick and healthy side dish perfect for BBQs, picnics, or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until the dressing emulsifies slightly. This makes a great light vinaigrette salad binder.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  4. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. For the best flavor, let the salad rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the vegetables to absorb the tangy dressing.
  6. Serve this refreshing salad idea as a budget friendly salad or a simple vegetable slaw.

Notes

  • For a main dish cabbage salad, add grilled chicken or chickpeas before serving.
  • If you want a sweeter slaw, increase the honey by one teaspoon.
  • This vinegar based cabbage salad holds up well for meal prep salad storage for up to three days.
