Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrot
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks (sliced) Green onions
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 cup (toasted) Slivered almonds
- 0.25 cup (toasted) Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrot, sliced red bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss well to combine.
In a small dry skillet, toast the slivered almonds and sunflower seeds over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Let cool slightly before adding to the vegetable mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good toss and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve chilled as a side dish for picnics, barbecues, or any meal that calls for a crisp and refreshing salad!
