There is something that sings to me when I hear Mardi Gras Slaw, I’m not sure if it’s the excitement of the party that follows the preparation or that I really do just love this salad so much!
Most dishes using symbolic colors of purple, green and gold indicate Mardi Gras recipes to commemorate and celebrate the feelings of justice, faith and power in the community and individuals alike.
To make Mardi Gras Slaw, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk ¼ cup oil, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 1½ teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 grated clove of garlic, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, ¼ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon dried thyme until well combined and sugar completely dissolved.
In a large salad bowl, toss ½ head of thinly sliced red cabbage, ½ head of thinly sliced green cabbage, 2 thinly sliced yellow bell peppers, 6 scallions that have been thinly sliced, 1 shallot, finely diced and 1 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 or up to 4 hours.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
