Ingredients

• 1 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 head Green cabbage
• 0.5 head Red cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the pickled onions. Slice the red onion into thin rings.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and salt. Heat over medium until the erythritol and salt dissolve, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Place the sliced onions in a mason jar and pour the vinegar mixture over them. Ensure the onions are fully submerged. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

While the onions are pickling, shred the green and red cabbages finely. You should have about 4 cups of each.

Step 5

Peel and grate the carrot.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro finely.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbages, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and black pepper.

Step 9

Add the cooled pickled onions to the cabbage mixture, then drizzle with the lime dressing.

Step 10

Toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
