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 the red cabbage head in half. Remove and discard the 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 kitchen mandoline for this).
  2. Put the cabbage in a large bowl and toss it thoroughly with the vinegar. Add the salt and toss again. Cover the slaw and let it sit at least 1 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.
