Red Cabbage Slaw
Description
This slaw features half a red cabbage finely sliced, combined with peeled carrot sticks and thin red onion slices for textural contrast. Fresh cilantro adds an herbaceous note. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette made by whisking together red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, maple syrup for subtle sweetness, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Tossing vegetables in this dressing coats them evenly and lightly.
The cabbage remains crisp with a fresh snap, balanced by the sweet and tangy dressing. The maple syrup mellows acidity, while olive oil adds smoothness. The mixture can be served right away for a crunchy salad or refrigerated for a few hours to let the flavors meld. The slaw provides a colorful, vibrant side dish with a mix of mild sweetness and sharpness from vinegar.
As a practical tip, salting cabbage leaves several hours ahead preserves their crispness when stored. This slaw pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a fresh side to hearty dishes.
