Bright, crisp, and completely mayo-free, this Cole Slaw for a Crowd is a refreshing twist on a classic side dish, perfect for large gatherings or potlucks. Made with a colorful mix of green and red cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper, this slaw is packed with vibrant flavors and crunch. Tossed in a tangy apple cider vinegar dressing with a touch of honey, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds, it offers a light and zesty alternative to traditional creamy coleslaw. Ready in just 30 minutes with no cooking required, this healthy and easy-to-make crowd-pleaser is not only dairy-free but also perfect for those seeking a lighter side dish that still delivers bold, delicious flavor.
Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbages. Cut each cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage into a very large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl of cabbage.
Dice the red bell peppers into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mix it into the vegetables.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat the mixture evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the cole slaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the cole slaw a final toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
