Description

This refreshing Pepper Salad combines crisp shredded cabbage, finely chopped carrots, and colorful green, red, or yellow peppers for a vibrant crunch. The vegetables are tossed with a light mayonnaise-based dressing and a touch of water to create a creamy yet balanced coating that highlights the natural sweetness of the carrots and the fresh snap of the peppers. It is a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or hot dogs. Perfect for summer picnics, family barbecues, or as a healthy addition to a weekday lunch. The flavors meld together nicely, making it a crowd-pleaser that is both simple to prepare and satisfyingly fresh.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the core from the cabbage head and thinly shred the cabbage leaves.
  2. Peel the carrot and chop it finely, then dice the green, red, or yellow peppers into small pieces.
  3. Place the shredded cabbage, chopped carrots, and diced peppers into a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise-type dressing and water until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until evenly coated.
  6. Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
