    red cabbage slaw on a platter

    I love a good easy vegetable salad so this red cabbage slaw is right up my alley! I had to make this when my husband purchased an abundace of red cabbages and I had to use them.

    I thought they will be great in a slaw! And I wasn't wrong, red cabbage makes really good slaw!

    If you are wondering if you can use red cabbage for slaw, know that you totally can! Plus that bright purple color on the cabbage is a bonus.

    I mostly add red cabbage to regular coleslaw but in this Red Cabbage Coleslaw recipe, red cabbage is the star of the dish and it really shines bright!

    Red Cabbage or Purple Cabbage?

    "Is it red or purple cabbage?," you may ask. This cabbage mostly has a deeply purple color but it is widely referred to as red cabbage. This is probably because in some areas, the cabbage grows to be red depending on the soil it grew in.

    Red cabbage is nutrient-dense and makes a really great slaw! Hope you enjoy this Red Cabbage Slaw recipe!
