Easy Pepper Slaw

Nettie
This bright and crunchy pepper slaw comes together fast with just a few ingredients and a sweet-and-sour vinegar dressing. The crisp cabbage, shredded carrots, and colorful bell peppers make this a perfect low-calorie side dish for cookouts, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. It’s a refreshing twist on classic coleslaw, and the flavor only gets better the longer it sits!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cabbage
  • 1 medium bell pepper green, red or yellow
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar or white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, white sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Finely chop or shred the cabbage, bell pepper, and carrot using a food processor, knife, or box grater.
