This crisp cabbage salad with lemon-garlic vinaigrette feels like a lightened-up version of coleslaw with a tangy lemon dressing and a light mix of fresh herbs.

Prep/Cook Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 6

Ingredients

Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette

  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • Ground pepper to taste

Cabbage Salad

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 8 cups shredded cabbage (preferably red and green mixed)

Directions

  1. Combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until well blended.
  2. Whisk 1/2 cup vinaigrette, chives, parsley, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add cabbage and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes. Toss again; serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
