This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also brimming with fresh, healthy ingredients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Red Cabbage: Thinly slice the 1/4 head of red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniform slices. Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
- Snap Peas: Rinse the snap peas thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and remove any strings. If they are large, you can cut them in half diagonally for a better bite-sized piece. Add the peas to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
- Spearmint: Wash the spearmint leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the leaves and add them to the mixing bowl.
- Parsley: Wash and pat the parsley dry. Remove the stems and chop the leaves finely. Add the chopped parsley to the mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Whisk the ingredients together until well mixed.
- Season the dressing with a dash of salt (approximately 0.40g). Adjust the salt to your taste preference if needed.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage, snap peas, spearmint, and parsley in the large mixing bowl.
- Toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Make sure the honey is evenly distributed and not clumped in one area.
- For best flavor, let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Snap Pea and Cabbage Slaw as a refreshing side dish to your favorite main courses.
Tips:
- Thinly Slice the Cabbage: Using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the red cabbage to ensure an even texture and better incorporation with the other ingredients.
- Chill Before Serving: For an extra refreshing slaw, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the salad crispier.
- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to adjust the salt, lemon juice, and honey to suit your palate. The balance of flavors can be tweaked based on personal preference.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Opt for fresh spearmint and parsley for the best flavor. Fresh herbs add a vibrant and aromatic element to the slaw that dried herbs cannot replicate.
- Add Nuts for Crunch: For an added crunch and extra nutrition, consider adding a handful of toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, or pepitas.
Your snap pea and cabbage slaw is now ready to serve! This versatile dish complements a variety of main courses or can be enjoyed on its own. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors make it a standout addition to any meal. Enjoy the crisp and refreshing taste of this delightful slaw.
