Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage (or more green)
  • 1 cup shredded carrot (or more cabbage)
    Dressing:
    1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola, or light olive oil)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp white sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar. Start with 1 1/2 tbsp sugar and adjust to taste.
  2. Place Salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. Pour over Dressing, toss.
  4. Set aside 20 minutes - mound will reduce by almost half and become juicy!
  5. Serve.

Notes

  • Once dressed, the cabbage wilts and it becomes like Coleslaw which I love, so I have this for 2 to 3 days after dressing the Coleslaw.

  • Storage / make ahead - I like to keep the chopped cabbage and dressing in the fridge, ready to use as required. It lasts up to a week, depending on how fresh the cabbage is!

  • Variations: For an Asian-inspired salad, use rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. For a Mediterranean twist, add mint, oregano, and red wine vinegar. For a Mexican version, use lime juice, cilantro, and a touch of cumin.
