Our family’s classic Thanksgiving and Christmas menu is rich. There are tons of carbs, and I’m afraid to tell you how much butter it takes to get the meal on the table. This tangy cabbage slaw is not only quick to put together and sturdy enough to sit for up to 2 hours without wilting, it’s acidity and hint of mustard help cut through the other dishes on the plate.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbs. maple syrup
- 1 heaping Tbs. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds, or about 10 cups shredded cabbage)
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Whisk the oil, vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the red onion and stir to combine. Let sit at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage.
Cut the cabbage into eight wedges through the core, then cut the core from each piece. Thinly slice the cabbage wedges crosswise to shred.
Add the shredded cabbage, almonds, cranberries, and parsley to the dressing and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
