Shredded Red Cabbage and Carrot Salad Recipe (2024)

extra dill makes this shine!

I love red cabbage salads and have made them many times, but the addition of carrots and fresh herbs adds a perfect sweetness and freshness. I did not have chives, so substituted spring onions. Instead of mixing up a proper vinaigrette, I did my usual simple salad dressing of sprinkling on salt and pepper, then drizzling with olive oil and lemon juice. Delicious!

Excellent recipe. My husband and I enjoyed this salad. It tastes like a sophisticated version of coleslaw.

This was a hit with my family! I used roughly half of a red cabbage and one large carrot, so this recipe would be easily doubled. I had fresh parsley but only dried dill and chives, and it was still amazing. I added 1 tablespoon of honey to the vinaigrette and 3/4 cup raisins to the salad. Next time I'll try adding sunflower seeds, too.

this was fantastic! I used a whole head of cabbage and 1/2 cup of carrots, flavors were complex and fresh. The herbs really make this dish stand out. A confetti cannon of flavor for your mouth. Read my story putting it together here - http://wp.me/p7IPNM-z8

I made this only because I had no ideas for dinner and I happened to have every single ingredient for this on hand. Turns out this is my new favorite salad! I topped it with avocado and a little feta, and that sent it over the top. I’m already thinking about when I will make it again. Five stars!

I made this last night and am eating it at lunchtime the next day. I doubled everything (except no chives to be had), and my evaluation is: what a subtle, nice, tasty, crunchy, gently tangy salad. It's not super special--as others suggested, the addition of sweet dried fruit or toasted walnuts or sunflower seeds would make it much more so. But it's very pleasant.

I add extra dill and a shredded apple. A small minced shallot with the garlic as well if on hand.

I loved the dill in this...I will say that there seems to be too much oil...day 2 leftovers just felt greasy.

Excellent slaw to accompany Potato salad and BBQ tofu. This is truly a fantastic recipe. It was a huge hit with my family for Easter. I made it as written except adding more fresh fill and chives. Perfectly delicious!

I added French lentils and avocado. Absolutely delicious, especially with that dressing!

This was just delicious although, I’m not sure I’ll soak the cabbage next time. I did add more vinegar because it seemed like it needed a little more oomph and I added extra dill as another reviewer suggested. Also great leftover as part of today’s lunch!

This was a delicious upscale slaw. I bought a beautiful small red cabbage at a farmers market just because, and then didn’t have a summer cooking plan for it. Followed the recipe closely other than going a bit high on the herbs and mustard, and 1T light on the oil.

My family and I love this recipe. It gives you all the crunch and freshness of homemade coleslaw without the gloppy mayo. I, too, upped the dill to 2-3 teaspoons. Served alongside a swiss chard and feta pie. Perfect!

Didn't have dill so doubled the parsley. Still a win.

Rey good and simpleUsed less oil, no lemon, but definitely sherry vinegar

Very easy and tasty salad. The herbs are a must and can even be increased.

Attractive and refreshing. I didn't have the dill and while I'm sure it adds that zesty dilly flavor that only dill can impart, the salad was still excellent. And can be made ahead, always a plus!
