Red Cabbage Salad Recipe

This Red Cabbage Salad Recipe is one of the easiest salads you’ll have the pleasure of making! Not only does it come together in less than 10 minutes, it’s also full of a savory marinade that gives this salad a mouthwatering flavor in every bite. The vibrant color of the red cabbage makes this salad a great addition to any dinner or party table.

When it comes to the marinade for red cabbage salad, you can really use any combination of spices that appeal to you. But the two ingredients I suggest always keeping the same are olive oil and red wine vinegar. These are the two ingredients that give red cabbage salad its classic rich and tangy taste.

Another extra ingredient that does wonders for this red cabbage salad is Dijon mustard. I use Dijon mustard in most of my salad recipes (including pasta salad!) because it adds a zesty, spiced taste that’s hard to replicate. Without that Dijon mustard, it always feels like the marinade is missing something.

Red cabbage salad is so versatile because it can be served as a side to almost anything! And it makes for a great addition to certain sandwiches as well (such as these Pulled Pork Sandwiches). It’s simple, healthy and a total taste bud pleaser! Read on to see the full Red Cabbage Salad recipe below. Enjoy!
