I’m back after a week of a much needed vacation at the beach and ready to share new and delicious recipes with you guys.
This Purple Cabbage and Apple Salad is one of the many side dishes I was served at family parties when I was growing up. This is a very simple vegetarian recipe that is perfect as a side salad or served up as a burger topping for a delicious and light summer lunch. This salad can be made in advance, making it perfect for picnics. A special thanks to my aunt in Florida who supplied me with the ingredients for the dressing.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients:
(6-8 servings)
1 small purple cabbage, shredded
1 cup hot water
3 red apples, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of sugar
Directions
- Place the cabbage and hot water in a pot. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
