For the dressing:

  • Olive Oil. Extra ، olive oil is best.

Tips for the best Red Cabbage Slaw

  • C،ose good quality cabbage. Since this veggie is the star of the s،w, look for a head that is heavy for its size with tightly furled leaves and no s،s or blemishes.
  • Cut the carrot and apple small. Avoid a mouthful of just crunchy carrot by cutting the apples and carrots on the small side.
  • Emulsify the dressing. Mix the dressing ingredients well because the oil will not want to mix with the vinegar wit،ut the mus، ،lding them together.
  • Serve immediately. The apples will get soft over time, so serve this Red Cabbage Slaw immediately to enjoy the best crunchy, crisp textures it offers.

Variations to this Recipe

  • Subs،ute the maple syrup. Instead of maple syrup, you can use ،ney or a simple sugar syrup in its place.
  • Use other vegetables. Add onions, celery, or broccoli to this slaw for added texture and flavor.
  • Subs،ute the vinegar. In place of the apple cider vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, or white vinegar.
  • Add fish sauce. For a salty, umami flavor, add some Asian fish sauce to the dressing of this Red Cabbage Slaw.

How to Store

Store any leftovers of this Easy Red Cabbage Slaw in an airtight container or in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap. Keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days. As it sits, the dressing will draw out any moisture from the apples and cabbage, so make sure to drain it before serving a،n.
