Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 2 (medium-sized, julienned or shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for a tangier flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. Peel and julienne or shred the carrots. Place all shredded vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large bowl.
Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos. Enjoy!
