Cabbage salads are a refreshing and healthy side dish for any meal, and they're especially delicious when made with a tangy, flavorful dressing. But traditional cabbage salads often rely on mayonnaise to achieve that creamy texture and rich flavor. If you're looking for a lighter, healthier alternative, there are plenty of mayo-free cabbage salad recipes that are just as delicious and satisfying. These recipes typically use a combination of vinegar, olive oil, and spices to create a dressing that's both tangy and flavorful. Some recipes also add in other ingredients like shredded carrots, chopped onion, or crumbled bacon to add flavor and texture.

Let's cook with our recipes!

pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
4 cups shredded green cabbage

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing more easily and make the salad more tender.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
  • Add other vegetables to your cabbage salad for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, radishes, and bell peppers.
  • Experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise or yogurt.
  • Serve cabbage salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cabbage salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a meal or as a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With so many variations to choose from, there is sure to be a cabbage salad recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a simple and refreshing side dish, give cabbage salad a try.
