This bright and tangy pickled red cabbage is so pretty! The color is gorgeous, and the cabbage maintains a nice crunchy texture. Try it on your favorite sandwich. —Peggy Woodward, Shullsburg, Wisconsin

Pickled red cabbage is delicious piled high on tacos (including fish tacos or these lime chicken tacos). Otherwise, keep it on hand for your favorite sandwiches.
