This red cabbage slaw offers a French-inspired twist. It’s simply red cabbage and carrot slaw made with vinaigrette dressing. It's perfect for picnics and cookouts and convenient to make ahead of time.
1 small head red cabbage (about 1 pound), finely shredded
2 medium carrots, grated
Vinaigrette (olive oil, sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, sea salt & freshly ground black pepper)
Parsley, chopped
Shred the cabbage using the grating attachment of a food processor, or slice thinly using a sharp knife.
Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrots using the same food processor attachment or a hand grater. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the parsley and add it to the bowl
Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the Dijon mustard, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat.
Let the slaw sit for 20–30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with parsley before serving, if desired.
This slaw keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it convenient to make ahead for parties and picnics.
