Cabbage and Carrot Herbed Slaw Recipe

Cabbage and Carrot Herbed Slaw
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 45 mins | Active Time: | Makes: 6 to 8 servings (about 6 cups)

With cabbage, carrots, radishes, and herbs, this slaw is as colorful as it is flavorful. It’s a great make-ahead dish, since the flavor develops as it sits; just be sure to give it a quick stir before you serve.

Game plan: If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the vegetables on the large holes of a box grater.

This recipe was featured as part of our Tailgating Recipes photo gallery.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 medium head red cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds), cut into small wedges and cored
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 12 medium radishes
  • 1/4 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Using a food processor fitted with a grating disk, finely shred the cabbage, carrots, and radishes. Place in a large nonreactive bowl and toss until evenly mixed.
  2. Place remaining ingredients except oil in the bowl of the food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Process until smooth, then, with the processor running, slowly drizzle in oil and process until incorporated.
  3. Toss dressing over vegetables and let mixture rest at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Stir just before serving.

    Actually Cilantro has great health properties and known to clean the blood....one can get used to the smell?AROMA of it knowing the fact it is beneficial

  • I made this to go along with the Pulled Jerk Chicken for a superbowl party. It was really good. I did make the following changes to make it more colorful. - Added Half a head of White Cabbage, Red and yellow peppers, as well as a Jalapeano. - I did not sherd the cabbage, nor the carrots - just chopped fine and thin. - Added 1/3 cup of olive oil. It was really excellent with the Jerk Style Chicken. Would definitely do again. I made about 3 hours before but would likely do the night before next time.

  • Keep in mind that kosher salt is generally larger flakes, so a tablespoon will actually be less salt than a tablespoon of a fine, granular salt. Chow did an informative piece on this here: http://www.chow.com/food-news/47641/thats-so-salty-its-not-salty-enough/

  • A TABLEspoon of salt? Are you sure? That's like a 100% of a day's allowance of sodium per serving!

  • I can vouch for the stinky pee thing with asparagus. First time it happened to me I got on an asparagus kick and was eating it multiple days, I thought I had some weird illness and went to the doctor about it ! OMG!

  • Except for the cilantro and radish, this is like Russian Carrot Salad. We had this at a family gathering this summer--a workman brought it to my Aunt-in-law's B-day party. We've been trying to get the recipe, meanwhile attempting to dupplicate the recipe, with no luck yet. (It had cardomon also) This sounds very good--will make it soon!

  • Me too. I love cilantro but have certain friends who can barely tolerate the smell of it. It is one of those weird foods, like fresh fennel. Or at the other end of the human digestive tract, like asparagus. I've never even understood the stinky pee thing, bit evidently it is genetic. And what on earth is "vegetable oil"? I'd use olive oil; imagine some would use a more tasteless and less viscous oil.

  • Sounds good but I'd leave out the cilantro unless I knew for a fact that everyone who'd be eating the slaw likes cilantro. That's one of those tastes people either love (as I do) or can't stand. If I'm not sure about everyone's preference, I serve cilantro separately so those who like it can mix it in and everyone else can roll their eyes and wonder why anyone would eat something that tastes like soap.
