Ingredients

• 1 medium head Red cabbage
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and rinse it under cold water.

Step 2

Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Slice the cabbage into thin, even shreds using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor.

Step 3

Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. If using caraway seeds, stir them in as well for added flavor.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the shredded cabbage and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 6

Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, massage the marinade into the cabbage for 1-2 minutes to help soften it and enhance absorption.

Step 7

Transfer the marinated cabbage to an airtight container or a large glass jar, pressing it down to remove any air pockets.

Step 8

Allow the cabbage to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to develop its full flavor.

Step 9

Before serving, give the cabbage a good stir and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment.
