Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage, or use a food processor to shred them. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for a milder heat if desired. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mixture of cabbage, carrots, and jalapeño.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the dressing mixture and whisk again to combine all the flavors.
Pour the spicy dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the spicy coleslaw chilled as a side dish or use it as a zesty topping for tacos, pulled pork, or burgers.
