Time 9h

Yield 5 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb green cabbage, shredded fine (about 1/2 medium head)
1 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest (from 1 lime)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
table salt

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:

For an authentic Mexican flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice and ground cumin.
If you don't have fresh limes, you can substitute bottled lime juice. However, the flavor will be slightly less bright.
To make a spicier vinaigrette, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
For a sweeter vinaigrette, add a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar.
This vinaigrette is also delicious on grilled fish, chicken, or tofu.
Store the vinaigrette in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This lime and cumin vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful dressing that is perfect for salads, tacos, and grilled meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy dressing, give this lime and cumin vinaigrette a try!
