Green Cabbage Salad ♥ with Fresh Lime Vinaigrette


What're You Loving?
Me, it's salads. Ask me what I'm hungry for? "Salad." Ask me what's for dinner? "Salad." Ask me to bring something to a potluck picnic? "Salad." Salad, salad, salad. And more salad. It's not a diet thing, it's just what tastes good.It might be the Soup & Salad Effect, I
It might be the Meal Prep Effect, the experience that a meal is mere minutes away when I keep a "refrigerator salad" on hand at all times. When one runs out, make another asap.
It might be ... what else? maybe that salads are good for us? and taste great? and just make life easy in a way that a crockpot or a grill just can't?
Whatever the reason, salads it is. And hmmm, maybe especially cabbage salads? They're extra easy since cabbage keeps so well, both whole and once made into a salad.

This recipe is so quick and easy that I'm adding it to a growing collection of easy summer recipes published all summer long ever since 2009 at Kitchen Parade, my food column. With a free Kitchen Parade e-mail subscription, you'll never miss a one!

Time to table: 30 minutes
Makes 9-1/2 cups
FRESH LIME VINAIGRETTE
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 - 4 fresh limes, depending on their juiciness)
1 tablespoon agave (for vegan) or honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Frank's Hot Sauce (or another hot sauce)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground pepper (be generous)
GREEN CABBAGE SALAD
6 cups (about 400g/14oz) green cabbage, sliced thin then chopped into lengths
5 sweet mini peppers (about 225g/8oz), ends trimmed, then sliced thin in rounds
1/4 cup (about 40g) thin-sliced radish
1/4 cup (about 22g) chopped green onion
2 ears corn, kernels sliced off (about 225g kernels)
1 cup (about 40g) finely chopped fresh cilantro
FOR GARNISH
Lime wedges & mini pepper rings, optional
FRESH LIME VINAIGRETTE In a bowl large enough to easily stir together the entire salad, whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients. While prepping the salad ingredients, continue to stir the vinaigrette every so often to help the salt dissolve.
GREEN CABBAGE SALAD Combine all the salad ingredients in the large bowl, stir deeply to ensure that all the salad ingredients are wet from the vinaigrette, repeat the stir more often than you think is needed, it really helps.
GARNISH Arrange the salad on a pretty platter, top with lime wedges and mini pepper rings.
MAKE-AHEAD Green Cabbage Salad is "ready to eat" as soon as it's mixed but also can be made early in the day, say, for serving at an evening gathering.
LEFTOVERS Leftovers are great! They're slightly "less fresh" since the cabbage will soften as it absorbs the vinaigrette but still, wonderful.
