Categories     Vegetable

Time 9h

Yield 5 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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 fresh limes for the best flavor. The zest and juice of fresh limes will give your vinaigrette a bright, citrusy flavor that will really shine in your dishes.
  • Choose a good quality olive oil. A good olive oil will have a fruity, peppery flavor that will complement the other ingredients in your vinaigrette. Avoid using extra virgin olive oil, as it can be too strong and overpowering.
  • Season your vinaigrette to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use your vinaigrette within a few days. Vinaigrette is best when used fresh, so don't make a large batch that you won't be able to use in a short period of time.
  • Store your vinaigrette in a cool, dark place. Vinaigrette will keep for about a week in the refrigerator. Be sure to store it in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from oxidizing.

Conclusion:

Lime and cumin vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. With its bright, citrusy flavor and subtle cumin undertones, this vinaigrette is sure to add a burst of flavor to your next meal.
