Make this fresh, crunchy cabbage salad tossed in a light, tangy vinaigrette. It is a quick and healthy side dish perfect for BBQs or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups shredded green and purple cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined. This light vinaigrette is a great alternative to heavy dressings often found with meal planning services.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  4. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. For best flavor, chill the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the vegetables to absorb the dressing.
  6. Serve as a refreshing side dish for grilled meats or as a base for a main dish cabbage salad.

Notes

  • For added crunch, toss in 1/2 cup of toasted ramen noodles just before serving.
  • To make this a main dish, add 1 cup of cooked, shredded chicken.
  • This salad holds up well for meal prep; it stays crisp for up to three days in the refrigerator.
