Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) carrots
- 1 small (thinly sliced) red bell pepper
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing all the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a box grater, mandoline, or food processor.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions into uniform strips for added texture and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and green onions.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl.
Using tongs or a large spoon, toss the vegetables with the dressing until everything is evenly coated.
Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a splash more vinegar if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the cole slaw another toss to ensure all the dressing is well-distributed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish and enjoy!
