Pretty and bright, this Red Cabbage Slaw couldn't be easier - it's just thinly sliced red cabbage with vinegar and salt. Note to picnickers and pot luck party goers: it transports perfectly and easily doubles or triples.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 small head red cabbage
  • 3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Cut red cabbage head in half. Remove and discard white core. Lay each half flat on a cutting surface and, using a very sharp knife, cut as thinly as possible (you can also use a mandoline for this).
  2. Put cabbage in a large bowl and toss thoroughly with vinegar. Add salt and toss again. Cover and let sit at least one hour at room temperature and up to overnight in the fridge.
  3. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Makes about 3 cups Red Cabbage Slaw.
