Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 0.5 small head green cabbage
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and shred it finely. Add the shredded cabbage to the bowl with the carrots.
In a small dry skillet, toast the caraway seeds over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Let them cool slightly, then add to the vegetable mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top for garnish. Toss gently to combine if desired.
Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar for tang if required.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
