Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 small head green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prep the vegetables by finely shredding the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, grating the carrots using the large holes of a box grater, and thinly slicing the red onion. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the creamy dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Combine and chill by pouring the dressing over the shredded vegetables and tossing thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Add fresh parsley if using, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Serve perfectly by giving the coleslaw a final toss before serving chilled, allowing the resting time to soften the cabbage slightly while maintaining crunch.

Notes

For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or seeds before serving. Prepare dressing and vegetables separately, then combine 30 minutes before serving for optimal texture. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Substitute Greek yogurt for lighter version. Add chopped apples or raisins for sweet twist.
