Red Cabbage Slaw
Description
Red Cabbage Slaw features finely shredded red cabbage mixed with shredded carrots and julienned apple for a balance of savory and sweet elements. The dressing blends orange juice, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, giving the slaw a bright and slightly sweet tang. Chopped fresh parsley adds herbal freshness, while pecans or walnuts, sprinkled on top before serving, contribute a crunchy texture contrast.
After tossing all ingredients with the dressing, the slaw is refrigerated for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly while maintaining crispness. This slaw can accompany grilled meats, sandwiches, or serve as a light, fresh side salad on its own.
Storing the slaw in an airtight container keeps it fresh for up to five days in the refrigerator. Stirring and draining any excess moisture before serving helps to restore its crisp texture, and seasoning with additional salt and pepper can refresh the flavors.
