Abc Cabbage Slaw Recipe
If there’s one salad I make on repeat, it’s this ABC Cabbage Slaw. Apple, Beets, and Carrots (aka the ABCs) come together with crunchy cabbage, fresh herbs, and a simple tangy dressing to make a side that’s as colorful as it is delicious. It’s fresh, naturally sweet, and full of fiber—plus, it holds up beautifully in the fridge, so it’s perfect for Shabbat prep or a weekday lunch. This is one of those recipes that’s healthy without trying too hard, and my whole family actually eats it!
ABC Cabbage Slaw
My ABC Cabbage Salad is one of those throw-together staples that just works. It’s fresh, crunchy, and packed with flavor from simple, wholesome ingredients—apples, beets, and cabbage (get it? A-B-C!). I love it as a side dish for Shabbos or a light weekday lunch. It’s colorful, nourishing, and totally Whole30 and kosher-friendly. The kind of salad that makes eating clean feel exciting, not boring!
Equipment
- Julienne Peeler
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 beet
- 1 green or pink lady apple
- 2 carrots
- 1 small bag or ½ a large bag of green cabbage
Dressing
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- optional- cilantro
Instructions
- Wash and peel beet and carrots.
- Using a julienne peeler peel the beet as much as you can. Once you get to a point where you can’t comfortably peel the beet anymore then cut it into matchsticks
- Peel the carrots again using the julienne peeler. Twist the carrot as you peel and try to peel in 3 sections (so the carrots will be roughly the same length as the beets). Again peel it as much as you can and once it gets too difficult just eat the leftover carrot.
- Now peel the apple with the julienne peeler again turning the apple every time you peel so you get an even peel.
- Mix together to combine
- Add the cabbage and mix again to combine
- Mix up the salad dressing and pour over the salad.
- (optional: chop up a handful of cilantro and sprinkle it in)
