Yield: 8 servings

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 large red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • In a small saucepan, boil vinegar, water, sugar, celery seed, salt and black pepper until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

    In a very large nonstick saucepan, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, bell peppers, and onion and toss gently. Sauté, tossing often until vegetables begin to soften and cook down, 6 to 7 minutes.

    Stir in the vinegar mixture and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and toss occasionally until the vegetables are very tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Serve warm or chilled.
