Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head red cabbage
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup grated carrot
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon erythritol (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut the cabbage in half. Remove the core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Core and deseed the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips. Add the bell pepper strips to the bowl with the cabbage.
Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and erythritol (if using) to create the dressing.
Add the celery seeds, salt, and black pepper to the dressing and mix until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all of the vegetables evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended for best taste.
Before serving, give the slaw one more good toss to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the bowl.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or use it as a topping for keto-friendly sandwiches or tacos.
