Instructions

  1. Start by finely shredding the cabbage. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline for this task. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Drain and rinse the pinto beans, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
  3. Peel and finely chop the onion, then add it to the bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and pumpkin seed oil to create the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the cabbage, beans, and onion. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference.
  7. For best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  8. Before serving, give the salad a good stir and taste again for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  10. This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often improve after a day, making it a great make-ahead dish.
