Orange Coleslaw
Orange coleslaw is a cabbage salad made with shredded cabbage, carrots, onion, and a citrus dressing of orange juice, lime juice, and oil. It’s commonly served as a side dish and known for its crisp texture and bright, fresh flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 cups shredded carrot
- 1 medium onion , thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt , adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)
- ⅓ cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- zest from 1 orange
- ¼ cup orange juice
Instructions
- In a food processor with the shredding disc attachment, shred the cabbage and carrot. In a large bowl, add shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion.
- In another small bowl, whisk the rest of the ingredients together until fully combined and smooth. Toss together thoroughly and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Notes
Storage: Store orange coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Make Ahead: Prepare the coleslaw up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. The cabbage softens slightly and the citrus flavors blend together.
Freezing: Not recommended. Cabbage and carrots lose their crisp texture and become watery after thawing.
