Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beets — To prevent staining, wear gloves while handling and shredding beets.
  • Red cabbage — Make sure to remove the tough outer leaves before shredding.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added crunch, sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds on top of the slaw before serving.
  • Customize the dressing by adding a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices, such as dill or paprika.
  • If you prefer a sweeter slaw, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup in the dressing.
  • This slaw tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Consider making it ahead of time for maximum flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Tangy Beet and Cabbage Slaw as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish. It also makes a delicious topping for pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for an extra pop of color.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, serve the slaw in a large bowl or platter, allowing the vibrant colors of the beets and cabbage to shine through. Consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or pomegranate arils on top for an elegant touch.
