Ingredients
- 1 medium head Purple cabbage
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by thoroughly rinsing the purple cabbage under cold water. Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves and pat the cabbage dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
2. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, shred the cabbage into very thin slices. Alternatively, you can finely chop it if you prefer smaller pieces.
Step 3
3. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl, breaking up any clumps to ensure even distribution of the dressing.
Step 4
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper until the sugar and salt have fully dissolved.
Step 5
5. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
Step 6
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Step 7
7. Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled as a side dish to complement your favorite meal.
