Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Red cabbage
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 cup Blue cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the red cabbage into fine shreds and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel and grate the carrots, then mix them into the bowl with the vegetables.
Thinly slice the green onions and incorporate them into the mixture.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the blue cheese dressing by combining blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and honey. Use a fork to mash the blue cheese slightly for a creamier texture, leaving some chunks intact.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or burgers.
