Coleslaw Recipe
Description
The coleslaw mix uses a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots, all finely shredded for even texture and bite. The dressing blends mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar for acidity, honey for mild sweetness (optional for diets), whole grain mustard for subtle sharpness, salt, and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
Once the shredded vegetables are combined with the dressing and thoroughly mixed, the coleslaw is refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly while maintaining its crispness. This resting period creates a balanced slaw with fresh, crunchy texture and creamy, vinegary notes.
This coleslaw works well as a side for barbecues, sandwiches, or picnic meals. It offers a refreshing contrast to grilled or fried dishes and brings a balance of creamy and tangy flavors that complement many savory foods.
Ingredients
For the slaw
- 6 cups green cabbage shredded
- 2 cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrot about 3 carrots, shredded
Coleslaw Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoon honey (omit for Whole30 and Keto)
- 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the shredded cabbage and carrots in a very large mixing bowl.
- Place all the dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour the coleslaw dressing all over the shredded cabbage and carrots, and toss well to evenly coat.
- Let the cole slaw rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Using a mandoline produces even, crunchy slices for the cabbage and carrots.
- If cutting by hand, aim for consistent thin strips for better texture.
- Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to develop flavors.
- You can substitute store-bought mayonnaise or sour cream if desired, and avoid adding extra mayo to prevent a soggy slaw as cabbage releases moisture.
