Author Notes
This was the first time I made this and it ended up being great. I love using red cabbage for it’s beautiful color, slightly bitter and peppery flavor and many health benefit- Vitamin C, A, K and dietary fiber to name a few. It adds a nice crunch to the otherwise soft textured fish tacos which I served it with. Marinated in a honey-lime-cumin vinaigrette it became a great addition to our fiesta! —Basil and Roses

Ingredients
-
1
whole red cabbage, cut into quarters and sliced into ribbons
-
1/2 cup
Olive oil
-
1/3 cup
Lime juice
-
2
garlic cloves, chopped then mashed with the side of the knife blade
-
2 teaspoons
Ground cumin (plus a pinch just because I LOVE cumin!)
-
1 teaspoon
Paprika ((smoked paprika is even better if you have it)
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 tablespoon
black pepper
-
1 tablespoon
honey (adjust to taste, add more honey if you prefer the dressing sweeter)
Directions
-
Combine lime juice, honey, garlic, cumin, paprika in a mixing bowl.
-
Slowly add olive oil as you whisk dressing together.
-
Adding oil slowly while whisking helps emulsify the dressing so it won’t separate (science, baby!).
-
Add salt + pepper to taste as you go along, adjust as needed.
-
Add dressing to cabbage and mix well.
-
Let sit for 20-30 minutes. It gets better after it sits for a while.
-
p.s. *It was even better the next day when we had the leftovers with chicken.
