Are You Always on the Lookout for a Fun, Interesting Salad? This Red Cabbage Salad is Just What You’re Looking for.

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.

    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.
