Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups, shredded Green cabbage
- 2 cups, shredded Red cabbage
- 2 large, peeled and shredded Carrots
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.75 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Add the thinly sliced red onion and toss everything together to mix thoroughly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds until smooth and well combined.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, then whisk again to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a splash more of vinegar if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
