Description

A quick and crunchy coleslaw with a creamy tangy dressing, perfect as a side for BBQ, sandwiches, or picnics.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage (mix of green and red)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots.
  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and celery seed until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  4. Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Mix in fresh herbs like chopped parsley or dill for extra flavor.
  • Make ahead: dress the slaw a few hours before serving and store covered in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Want a tangier slaw? Swap apple cider vinegar for fresh lemon juice.
