Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage
- 2 cups red cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 cups pecans
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrots using a grater or food processor and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the spicy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to coat evenly.
Roughly chop the toasted pecans and sprinkle them over the coleslaw. Gently mix to distribute the pecans, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
