Cabbage Salsa

Do you like your salsa to have a little extra crunch? Then a cabbage salsa is perfect for you. It takes what’s so good about homemade coleslaw and combines it with the heat and tang of spicy salsas. This is a great option as a barbecue side, and it’s a terrific alternative to fries with a burger.

The heat comes from mainly from jalapeño peppers, with a small kick from pepperoncini peppers. The pepperoncini supply more of the mildly spicy tang that’s so good about this salsa.

Like this recipe? You’ll love these too:

  • Cherry Salsa: Fiery, sweet, and tangy – this salsa has a little bit of everything in it. It’s such a good pairing with salty tortilla chips.
  • Peach Habanero Salsa: Big flavor and bold. Habs and peaches are quite a good pairing.
  • Spicy Coconut Salsa: That coconut flavor is surprisingly good with barbecue.

Instructions
 

  • Mix the cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cilantro in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the garlic, vinegar, vegetable oil, and sugar and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and mix thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

If there is no pickled pepperoncini available, you can opt for another pickled pepper or swap out an additional jalapeño pepper. With the latter, you’ll gain in spice, but lose in tang.
