Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 large (grated) Carrot
- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Celery seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons (optional, for taste) Salt
Instructions
Shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrot. Mix the vegetables thoroughly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, celery seeds, black pepper, and salt (if using) to make the tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated evenly with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, keeping the salt minimal to maintain low sodium levels.
Cover the bowl and let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and tacos.
