Ingredients

  • 1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded very thinly
  • 1 large carrot, shredded or julienned
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cooked red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) water
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, onion and beans.
  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  • Pour the warm dressing over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything thoroughly to coat.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to eat…30 minutes or more really infuses the flavour!
  • Toss again before serving cold alongside the rice and peas

Notes

  • A 19 oz (540 mL) can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed, yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans. Use 1/2 cup (125 mL) for this recipe and the remaining 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) in the Classic Caribbean Rice & Peas recipe from our recipe library!
