Sweet, salty, tart, and tangy… this red cabbage salad is the exciting addition to your meal
I make this red cabbage salad for Shabbos, or whenever I’m asked to bring a salad to a meal. It’s different than the typical lettuce-based salad, and I like salads that blend fruits and vegetables.
With no lettuce, it can sit out at a party and not wilt. Even the leftovers are good (if you have any).

Looks delicious! Is it better to marinate or pour dressing on right before?
I liked it right before so it’s crunchy, but it tasted great after an hour too.
Love this salad!! I used half the amount of oil and it was delicious! Thanks – this will definitely become a staple. (Dressed it right before serving)
Good to know.
This looks delicious! Definitely want to try! Do you use a gadget to cut the apples so thin or just do it by hand?
We did it by hand. A good sharp knife, that’s all.
This salad is so light and delicious. I made it last week for shabbos and everyone loved it. Making it again this week!
Thanks ! This is a hit of a salad!
This looks so pretty!! How did you cut the carrots so uniform? Food processor, which blade? julienne peeler, mine never look like that?! How’d you do it ? 🙂
We used a julienne peeler.
Thanks, which company julienne peeler do you find works best?
