Notes
Prevent the red cabbage from bleeding. If you’re new ti handling red cabbage, you might realise that your salad looks red a few hours after making it. Red cabbage “bleeds” due to the color pigments. To prevent this, toss the cabbage with 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice before combining it with the rest of the ingredients.
Keep it Crispy. Make sure to use fresh produce that’s at the peak of its ripeness to ensure a crisp, crunchy texture. The longer the salad sits, the soggier it will get due to salt and water content that this will release. So, for the best results, serve it as soon as you can or shred the cabbage and do not add the vinaigrette/salad dressing until close to the time you intend to serve.Â
