Who doesn’t love some extra crunch and flavor? Bobby’s Red Cabbage Slaw. Bring it on. And if we can throw in some vibrant color, why not?

This cabbage slaw is just what you need to top off your fish tacos, fill in your sandwich wraps, serve with your favorite grilled fish. Full credit for this deliciousness must be given to Bobby Flay. The recipe is featured in his Mesa Grill Cookbook with a suggestion that it be served with his Yucatan Chicken Skewers topped off with Peanut-Red Chile BBQ Sauce. Worthy of a future post, don’t you think?

If you have a large food processor like this one, the cabbage prep is quick and easy. Or a mandoline will do the job nicely. For the thinly sliced onions, I prefer to use a mandoline or slice them by hand.

So easy…

The dressing is mixed in a large bowl, then the rest of the ingredients are added. Give it a quick stir and that’s it.

Bobby’s Red Cabbage Slaw is at its best when enjoyed the day it’s made.

Just let it hang out for a short time so that the flavors have a chance to blend. As a result, you’ll have a delicious crunchy slaw that will wow your friends and impress your family!
