Cabbage Slaw Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, finely shredded

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 8 tablespoons Sunflower Oil

  • 6 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons Honey

  • 2 teaspoons Caraway Seeds

  • 2 teaspoons Salt

  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage
    In a big bowl, mix the shredded cabbage with salt. Massage the cabbage until it becomes tender and releases its juices, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Drain the excess liquid.

  2. Make the Dressing
    In another bowl, mix the honey, chopped onions, sunflower oil, vinegar, and caraway seeds using a whisk.

  3. Combine
    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Gently mix everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.

  4. Chill
    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly. I like to prepare this salad the day before serving.

  5. Serve
    Before serving, give the slaw a final toss.

Guten Appetit! We love hearing from you! Don’t forget to leave a comment below.
