Ingredients

• 1 small head red cabbage
• 2 medium carrot
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup white vinegar
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and thinly slicing the red onion. Place the onion slices in a medium bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 3

Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the sliced onions. Let the onions sit and pickle for at least 15 minutes as you prepare the rest of the slaw.

Step 4

Meanwhile, remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it in half. Core the cabbage halves and thinly slice them into shreds. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Peel and grate the carrots. Add the grated carrots to the large mixing bowl with the shredded cabbage.

Step 6

Once the onions are pickled, drain them from the vinegar solution and add to the cabbage and carrot mixture.

Step 7

Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the slaw.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed. Store the slaw in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together.
