Ingredients for Red Cabbage Salad: Red cabbage, carrot, apple, pecans, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, apple juice (OR more vinegar), honey and mustard (I like using both whole grain and smooth), salt/pepper (not
Cabbage: If you’re shredding the cabbage yourself, make sure to slice it fairly thin. Pre-shredded from a bag works great if you’re short on time.
Apple: For ultra-low carb, feel free to skip the apple. You can also use a tart variety like Granny Smith over a sweeter variety to lower the sugar content a little.
Apple juice: This is a great option for people who do not like a lot of vinegar in their salad. For low carb, stick to all vinegar. Leave out for THM, Whole30 and paleo.
Honey: This helps the dressing to thicken, but you can leave it out for a lower carb count or to stay Whole30 friendly. Use a teaspoon of your favorite powdered sweetener in its place, if you like and your eating plan permits.
Mustard: Whole grain mustard adds great flavor and texture, so I love using it here. I always add smooth mustard as well (forgot to add it to the photo!), because it helps the dressing to thicken, too. If you’re skipping the honey, I strongly recommend you add smooth mustard. Check the label and only use a mustard that contains ingredients compliant with Whole30/paleo, if that’s your eating plan.
How to make Red Cabbage Salad
1.Start by combining the dressing ingredients in a measuring jug. You’ll want to whisk them together until they’re fully combined.
2.Pour the dressing over the cabbage and massage it in with clean hands. Let the cabbage sit for 10-15 minutes. You can also leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours, if you’re making the salad ahead of time.
3.Right before serving, add the remaining ingredients to the salad. Check for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper, vinegar and oil to your taste.
Carefully combine all ingredients and serve!
