Jalapeno Cabbage Slaw
One of my favorite make ahead slaws for the week!
Ingredients
For the marinated red onion:
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar I like Braggs
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
For the slaw:
- 1/2 head raw purple cabbage shredded
- 15 radishes sliced (~1 cup)
- 1 carrot cut matchstick (~1 cup)
- I red bell pepper sliced
For the dressing:
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar I like Braggs
- 1 jalapeno small, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 garlic clove large, mircoplaned
- 1/2 tsp salt celtic, Redmond real salt, or himalayan
- 1 cup cilantro leaves stemmed and finely chopped
For topping:
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds toasted
Instructions
- To start your marinated onions, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and honey in a large bowl. Add your sliced red onion and allow it to meld while you are prepping your other ingredients. (p.s. this step helps to mellow the red onion)
- Prep your slaw ingredients and add on top of the bowl with the marinated onions plus pinch of sea salt. Massage the slaw for 2-3 minutes to soften.
- Make your dressing in a separate bowl and poor over the slaw, toss together.
- Top the slaw with pumpkin seeds for serving!
