North Woods Inn Cabbage Salad Recipe Has Delighted Generations (7 Ingredients) Copycat Recipes Salads Side Dishes Gluten-free Vegetarian Vegan Vegetables Farm to Table Recipe

Being a foodie, I am always interested in regional cuisine and recipes from across the globe. Especially recipes that are so popular they have copycat recipes floating around the internet. This North Woods Inn cabbage salad recipe intrigued me because red cabbage is a vegetable that I often overlook when shopping, though I love it. My daughter lives amongst the red woods in Northern California, so I had to give this cabbage recipe a try. I am so glad I did!

This cabbage salad recipe is served at Clearman's North Woods Inn in California. The simple red cabbage salad (or is it purple cabbage?) is sweet and tangy, and the perfect side dish for dinner.

You only need seven simple ingredients to make this purple cabbage recipe. Here is your short gluten-free shopping list: red cabbage (check out the health benefits of red cabbage), vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, seasoned salt, black pepper and onion powder.

Half of the cabbage is shredded finely with a knife, and the other half is grated. The two textures combine to make this salad even more interesting in your mouth. The tangy, sweet and salty dressing softens the cabbage and adds so much flavor.

Serve this red cabbage slaw as a side dish for dinner with just about anything. I served mine with fried catfish and french fries. My seafood dinner was probably not as good as the food at Clearman's, but we enjoyed it!
