Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the sliced red onion and red wine vinegar. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes to soften and mellow the onion's flavor, and then drain. You don't need to reserve the vinegar.
  2. In a large serving bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lime juice, salt, and cumin to make the dressing.
  3. Add the purple cabbage, green cabbage, drained red onion, and cilantro leaves to the serving bowl.
  4. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Serve immediately or let it sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
