Red Cabbage and Fresh Mint Slaw

I love a good old-fashioned coleslaw.  You know—the kind with shredded green cabbage, shredded carrots, and lots and lots of mayonnaise.  But sometimes, I want something that’s a little lighter, a little fresher, and a little more colorful.  That’s when I turn to my favorite red cabbage and mint slaw.  It’s quick, easy, and utterly delicious.

Here’s what you do: First, thin slice and quick pickle a few red onions.  Sound hard?  It’s simple.  All you have to do is slice up your onion; toss it in a bowl; sprinkle it with two teaspoons of kosher salt, and pour over the juice of two limes.  Set the bowl in the fridge for an hour, and soon you will have a quick pickled onion packed full of a red onion’s deliciousness without any of its bite.

Once your onions are pickled, toss them and their juices with 1/2 head of shredded red cabbage and a cup of freshly chopped mint.  In almost no time at all, you’ve got the perfect side for burgers, brats, pulled pork, you name it.  Serves four easily, and I promise your guests won’t even miss the mayonnaise.
