Ingredients Needed:
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 small red onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 head red cabbage, finely shredded
How To Make Coleslaw Red Cabbage?
- Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a blender, combine the orange juice, lime juice, red onion, garlic, basil leaves, cilantro, and honey; blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil to emulsify the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Coleslaw: Place the shredded red cabbage in a large bowl; pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage and toss until evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Recipe Tips :
- Chill the Coleslaw Before Serving: Letting the coleslaw sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to blend and the cabbage to absorb the vinaigrette.
- Slice the Cabbage Thinly: For the best texture, finely shred or slice the cabbage. Thinner pieces absorb the vinaigrette better and create a softer, tastier coleslaw.
- Blend Vinaigrette Thoroughly: Make sure the vinaigrette is smooth and fully emulsified. This ensures a balanced flavor and even coating on the cabbage.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning: After tossing, taste the coleslaw and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed to match your flavor preference.
- Add Fresh Herbs Just Before Serving: Adding herbs like basil and cilantro right before serving keeps them bright and flavorful, enhancing the freshness of the coleslaw.
How To Store Leftovers?
First, let the leftover coleslaw cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days to keep it fresh and flavorful.
