Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots thoroughly. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbages into thin strips. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrots and slice the red onion thinly. Add these to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the creamy dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad and gently fold it in for an added burst of flavor.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step enhances the taste but is optional if you’re short on time.
Serve the creamy cabbage salad cold as a side dish, or enjoy it on its own for a light and refreshing meal!
