Pickled Red Cabbage is my recipe of the day. This is another nice prep of cabbage that is a bit different than fermented cabbage as sauerkraut or kimchi. It keeps a nice crispy texture being a refrigerated pickle, but still has that great flavor.

This pickle is great for adding into salads or coleslaw. It works great as a topping for burgers or hot dogs. You can even add it to a charcuterie board as a relish to add counterpoint flavor.
