Brighten up your table with this vibrant Tangy Coleslaw Without Mayo, a fresh take on the classic recipe that's lighter, healthier, and bursting with flavor. Featuring a colorful medley of green and red cabbage, crisp carrots, and zesty green onions, this coleslaw is dressed in a tangy vinaigrette made with apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard. A touch of celery seeds, salt, and pepper lends a delightful depth of flavor, while the mayo-free preparation makes it perfect for those seeking a dairy-free or lighter alternative. Ready in just 20 minutes, this dish is an ideal side for BBQs, picnics, or as a topping for tacos and sandwiches. Refrigerate for an hour before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandolin. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a small bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the cabbage, carrots, and green onions are well coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches or tacos.
