8 hrsThis overnight salad does the work while you sleep.
Shredded vegetables soak up a simple vinegar, oil, and sugar dressing, softening slightly while staying crisp.
The overnight rest lets flavors meld and vegetables release their natural juices into the dressing.
Serve cold straight from the fridge as a refreshing side to grilled meats or sandwiches.
Kitchen Tips
- Shred thin: Finely shredded vegetables absorb more dressing and soften to the perfect texture
- Use white or apple cider vinegar: Both work well; apple cider adds subtle fruity notes
- Drain before serving: A quick drain removes excess liquid and concentrates flavors
- Make ahead: This salad keeps well for 3-4 days and actually improves after day one
