Sweet Citrus Slaw
This sweet citrus slaw is a deliciously crisp, tangy and lightly sweet mix of green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots topped with a bright blend of orange, lime, and lemon juice, olive oil, and maple syrup.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 c shredded green cabbage (or sub red cabbage)
- 1½ c shredded red cabbage (or sub green cabbage)
- ½ c shredded carrots (about 1 small carrot)
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Thinly slice or shred the green cabbage and red cabbage. Shred the carrots. Thinly slice the red onion. If you are using a bagged coleslaw mix, skip this step.
- Juice orange, lime, and lemon half using a small juicer or by hand. Whisk together orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, and olive oil.
- Combine the cabbage, carrots, and red onion in a medium bowl. Pour the juice mixture over the cabbage and toss well to coat. Season with salt and toss again. Add additional salt and pepper, to taste, if needed. Chill the slaw in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use all green or all red cabbage in this recipe to make it simpler.
- You can use a bagged coleslaw mix to cut down on preparation time. However, we recommend cutting your own fresh cabbage, as it has much more flavor and tends to last longer.
