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.
