Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage. Slice it in half and remove the core.
Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl with the shredded cabbage.
Thinly slice half of a red onion into very fine strips or dice it finely, based on your preference. Add the onion to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the slaw for added color and herbaceous flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the slaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite main course.
