Description

This 1-bowl purple cabbage slaw is a gorgeous side dish for almost anything – be it a summery bbq spread, holiday gathering, or just a Tuesday night dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 small head purple cabbage (about 3/4 pound), finely shredded* (about 5 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 2 medium carrots (about 1/2 pound), peeled and grated* (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill, cilantro, or parsley
  • 2 tablespoons mild vinegar (like apple cider, white wine, or rice vinegar) or lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown or Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using your hands, massage vigorously until the cabbage softens and feels juicy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes, then adjust the seasonings if needed before serving.

Notes

  • To speed up the cabbage shredding process, use your food processor with the shredding attachment.
  • To grate carrots, use a regular box grater or invest in a julienne Y-peeler.
