Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage, red cabbage, and red bell pepper into thin strips (or use a mandoline for uniformity). Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Toss them together until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, sriracha, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the level of sweetness or spice to taste if necessary.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a refreshing side or as a topping for your favorite dishes like tacos, sandwiches, or burgers.
