Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 0.5 head Red cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the green and red cabbages. Slice both cabbages finely using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into slivers. Add the onion to the cabbage and carrot mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
If using, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the coleslaw and gently mix it in.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
