Quick Cabbage Slaw
Description
This Quick Cabbage Slaw recipe uses shredded white cabbage paired with thinly sliced red bell pepper and red onion, creating a mix of crunchy textures and sharp flavors. The dressing combines extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and fresh black pepper, which gently meld with the vegetables when tossed and allowed to stand briefly. The vinegar provides bright acidity, while the oil adds smoothness and body.
The slaw's crispness is highlighted by the raw cabbage and pepper, with the onion contributing a mild pungency. It requires no cooking and only 15 minutes of standing to develop flavor, preserving freshness and crunch.
It complements grilled meats, sandwiches, or can be served as a light salad. Any cabbage variety can be substituted but will alter color and taste subtly.
