Pickled Red Cabbage - Sugar Free, Whole30

Step 1

Cut the cabbage in half and cut away the large stem. Use a mandolin, sharp knife, or food processor set to shred to thinly slice the cabbage. Transfer the cabbage to a large bowl.

Step 2

Heat the vinegar, lime juice, water, salt, garlic, and jalapeño or any optional ingredients (if using) in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove it from the heat. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage. Stir it gently so the vinegar coats the cabbage. Set the bowl aside on the countertop until cooled, about 1-2 hours.

Step 3

Last, transfer the mixture to a glass jar or bowl, cover, and store in the refrigerator.
