Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.25 head Red cabbage
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: Slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin shreds. Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots. Toss them together with your hands or a large spoon until well mixed.
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
Using a pair of salad tongs or a large spoon, toss the coleslaw until the dressing is evenly distributed and all the vegetables are coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
