Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage and cut it in half. Using a knife or mandoline, finely shred the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a coarse grater. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into very fine half-moons and add to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the veggies in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the vinegar mixture. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or accompaniment.
