Time 9h

Yield 5 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb green cabbage, shredded fine (about 1/2 medium head)
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest (from 1 lime)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
table salt

Steps:

Toss shredded cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt in a colander or large mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Let stand until the cabbage wilts, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. (Can be stored in zipper-lock bag and refrigerated overnight.).
Stir together lime juice, zest, oil, vinegar, honey, cumin, and cayenne in medium bowl. Toss cabbage and red pepper in dressing. Season to taste with salt; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and red pepper. This will help the vegetables absorb the dressing more easily.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and red pepper. Just be careful to slice them evenly so that they cook evenly.
You can use any type of vinegar in the dressing, but a citrus vinegar, such as lime or lemon vinegar, will give the salad a brighter, more refreshing flavor.
If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried cilantro as you would fresh cilantro.
This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Cabbage and Red Pepper Salad with Lime-Cumin Vinaigrette is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The cabbage and red pepper are tossed in a tangy lime-cumin vinaigrette, and the salad is topped with fresh cilantro. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
