Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor to achieve fine shreds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly grated ginger, lime juice, lime zest, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and cilantro, and use tongs or clean hands to toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the cole slaw for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, burgers, or sandwiches.
