Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrots using a grater or food processor, and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely dice the red onion and the jalapeño (if using), and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Add these to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and sprinkle with additional cilantro or a pinch of smoked paprika for garnish if desired.
