Steps:
- Toss shredded cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt in a colander or large mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Let stand until the cabbage wilts, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. (Can be stored in zipper-lock bag and refrigerated overnight.).
- Stir together lime juice, zest, oil, vinegar, honey, cumin, and cayenne in medium bowl. Toss cabbage and red pepper in dressing. Season to taste with salt; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, dense head of cabbage for best results. Red or green cabbage will both work well in this salad.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage marinate more easily and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Use a variety of colors of bell peppers: This will add visual appeal and flavor to the salad. Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers are all good choices.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Taste the salad before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lime juice, salt, or pepper.
Conclusion:
This cabbage and red pepper salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The lime-cumin vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor to the salad, and the cabbage and bell peppers provide a crunchy and colorful contrast. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
