Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, shred the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin, even strips. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the fresh cilantro, then add these ingredients to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar if desired for more zing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the coleslaw one more toss before serving and enjoy it as a side to grilled meats, sandwiches, or on its own!
