The cabbage stands on its own as the base of this recipe, and is both finely and coarsely chopped to highlight its crisp texture. As quick and easy as this recipe is to put together, it does require time in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften, so make sure to plan ahead. Forty-eight hours is the minimum, but this red cabbage salad is even better after four or five days, making it the perfect make-ahead dish for any occasion.
Shred half of the cabbage finely and the other half coarsely. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Toss the dressing with the cabbage. Transfer it to a zip-top bag or covered container and refrigerate for at least 48 hours or until the cabbage turns a deep red, softens a bit, and the flavors meld together. If you have the time, let the salad sit for four or five days.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy. I don’t like this at all.
