I like how colorful this Red Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw is.

Serving this delicious and easy side will make everything else look more fun to the palate.

Red Cabbage and Carrot Cole Slaw

Red Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw

This is a simple kind of salad or side dish that can be served up with most anything else. I like that this red cabbage and carrot slaw works as well as a side dish during the holiday season as it does for a summer picnic.

This cabbage and carrot slaw recipe reminds me of my popular recipe for Mediterranean Style Green Bean Salad.

Not only are both of these recipes on the healthy side, but they are also both easy to make. Even better, I like how colorful both of these recipes are.

Just as important to the ingredients used is how to shred cabbage and slice the carrots for any kind of coleslaw.

I look at this recipe as the perfect excuse to bring our my spiralizer. Using a spiralizer for this recipe is not just easy, it provides the perfect cut for the carrots in this recipe.

Here is how you can prepare the cabbage for this recipe.

Remove the outer layers of the cabbage and rinse it under running water. Then, quarter the cabbage and remove the core so that you can chop or grate the rest of it.

Like any kind of coleslaw, also important is how long should coleslaw sit before serving.

This is a vegan recipe for coleslaw that does not contain mayonnaise. As a result, the normal rules for storing and serving anything made with mayonnaise do not apply to this recipe.

This recipe could be made a day in advance of serving it.

It probably is a good idea to allow the ingredients and flavors to set together before serving this as well.
To serve this coleslaw, simply store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it and stir it after you remove it from the fridge.

Tips for making Red Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw

I just mentioned that you can make this coleslaw recipe a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Then, when you are ready to serve it, simply stir the ingredients.

Here are some more great tips for you.

  1. This recipe calls for apple cider vinegar. You could easily sub in another vinegar such as rice or white vinegar.
  2. Adding a bit of fruit, such as raisins or dried cranberries, is a great way to give a new dimension of taste and texture to this recipe.
  3. Another way to add texture and taste to this coleslaw recipe is to add chopped nuts. I like chopped walnuts or chopped pecans for a nice flavor.

Everyone knows that coleslaw is the perfect summer picnic or barbecue food to serve.

That picnic coleslaw is usually made with a colorless cabbage. This coleslaw is made with red cabbage which really adds color that is friendly to year-round enjoyment.

There are some nutrtional benefits from eating red cabbage.

Red cabbage is loaded with potassium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B-6. Cabbage is also a good source of fiber.

This coleslaw recipe is better when chilled before serving.

Chilling this salad before serving for at least an hour allows for the flavors to merge together.
However, allowing coleslaw to sit too long in the refrigerator can cause it to get watery, which is why we stir it before actually serving it.

About Me

I am a believer in healthy living and healthy eating.

When I turned a certain age (we all have our own ‘certain age’ right?), I decided it was time to eat and live in more healthy manner. I gave up meat and processed foods and adopted a diet based upon fruit, vegetables, and simple recipes. Walking, running, and yoga are a passion as are my pets.
