Veggie Slaw

A dish with fresh red cabbage always makes a pretty addition to a table setting, and it's a double win when it tastes great too!

  • In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, yellow squash, zucchini, green pepper, and chopped onion.

  • In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice, sugar, vinegar, water, bouillon, paprika, celery seeds, garlic powder, and red pepper. Stir well.

  • Pour over vegetable mixture. Toss gently.

  • Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Toss gently at serving time.

Red Cabbage Trivia

Some people call red cabbage by a slightly different name — purple cabbage. Its color does change according to the environment it's in; it will even turn blue if served with non-acidic food. All colors aside, red cabbage happens to be much higher in vitamin C than other types of cabbage.
