Are you trying to be on the healthier side without sacrificing taste? No worries, this recipe has you covered! This recipe is amazingly delicious and full of flavor, uses only a handful of ingredients so it’s quick and easy to make, and easy to modify to your tastes. We use apple cider vinegar to coat the vegetables, giving it a burst of flavor that goes perfectly with the spicy jalapenos. Did we mention it’s also vegan/vegetarian and super low in fat (1 gram!!!) and calories (84 per serving!!!) but high in vitamins K, A, C, as well as iron, calcium, magnesium, and so much more!

To make this recipe super fast and easy, we use coleslaw mix that contains shredded carrots, red cabbage, and green cabbage. Since this recipe recommends using a mandoline, feel free to buy whole heads of cabbage and shred yourself if desired. This recipe comes together in under 10 minutes and can be made ahead of time for easy grab and go lunch and dinner options. Try out this recipe today to see how delicious healthy can be!

Cabbage Salad

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Course: Salad, Side Dish
Servings: 4
Calories: 84kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1 jalapeno about 2-3 inches long
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup red onion 1 medium sized red onion
  • 6 fl oz apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Using a mandoline, slice onion, bell peppers, and jalapeno. I like to cut the onion and bell peppers in half (seeds and membrane removed) before running through mandoline so they are uniform with the cabbage. For the jalapeno I will leave whole so the mandoline cuts uniform circles, but you can dice it if desired. If you would like less heat in your salad, remove seeds from jalapeno before cutting.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix well. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is so easy to modify.  If I’m using this as my main dish, I will add 3 ounces of rotisserie chicken for protein but you could also add chia seeds or any nut/seed as well. 
This recipe also holds well in the refrigerator.  If I’m making this for myself, I will make a batch and portion it out the servings in individual containers.  The cabbage will lose a little bit of the crunch but the flavors meld together really nicely.  Then if you are adding chicken or nuts to the salad, do so right before serving.
