apple cider vinegar

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

Lemon juice adds acidity with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more affordable and neutral in flavor.

Combine shredded cabbage, green bell pepper, and red onion in a bowl.

Add about a tablespoon of salt to the vegetables and toss using hands.

Place the salted vegetable mixture in a colander and let it sit overnight to drain excess moisture.

Prepare the dressing by bringing unfiltered cider vinegar and granulated sugar to a boil until the sugar dissolves, about one minute.

Add yellow mustard seed, coriander seed, celery seed, dry mustard, ginger, and turmeric to the vinegar mixture and stir.

Pour the hot dressing over the drained vegetables and toss thoroughly with tongs to coat all the vegetables.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
