Southern Style Cabbage Salad

4 servings

15 minutes

Southern-style cabbage salad is a classic American side dish that perfectly complements barbecue dishes. Its roots trace back to the southern states of the USA, where fresh vegetables, a light tanginess, and gentle sweetness create a harmonious flavor. Cabbage adds crunchiness, carrots add sweetness, and onions provide a savory note. The mayonnaise-based dressing with balsamic vinegar and sugar coats the ingredients, creating a rich and slightly creamy taste. This salad pairs excellently with meat dishes, especially ribs or grilled chicken breast. It can be served chilled for a refreshing effect. Due to its simplicity in preparation and availability of ingredients, it has become an indispensable part of American cuisine, bringing generations together at family dinners and picnics.
