Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 1 cup Mayonnaise (paleo-friendly, made with avocado oil)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon Raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to achieve thin, even slices. You will need approximately 6 cups of shredded cabbage.
Peel and shred the carrots to yield about 1 cup. Thinly slice the small red onion. Combine the cabbage, carrots, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the paleo-friendly mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, raw honey, celery seeds, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large mixing bowl. Using tongs or clean hands, mix thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch more salt or a dash of vinegar for extra tang, if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish for your favorite protein or BBQ meal. Enjoy!
