Not many people eat red cabbage cooked let alone raw but this side dish is so quick to make, very delicious, and of course extremely healthy. A great accompaniment to ham or cold pork with creamy mashed potatoes.
The dressing can be adjusted to taste.
For salad dressings I keep a couple of empty jam jars with their lids just for this purpose. Put all the ingredients in and give it a good shake, it’s much easier, quicker and less messy than trying to whisk it in a bowl.
This makes quite a large bowl full but it will be perfectly fine the day after as well.
