The Ultimate Creamy Coleslaw
Prep time: 15 minutes | Servings: 4-6
🛒 Ingredients
• Veggie Base:
• 4 cups Shredded Cabbage (Green or a mix with Purple)
• 1 cup Grated Carrots 🥕
• 2 tbsp Chopped Parsley or Green Onions (optional)
• The Dressing:
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise 🍦
• 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Juice 🍋
• 1 tbsp Honey or Sugar (to taste) 🍯
• 1/2 tsp Celery Seed
• Salt & Pepper to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Veggies 🔪
• Shred the cabbage thinly using a knife or a mandoline.
• Grate the carrots.
• ➡️ Tip: For the best texture, toss the shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture. This keeps it crunchy!
Step 2: Whisk the Dressing 🥣
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, sweetener, celery seed, salt, and pepper.
• ➡️ Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: The Big Mix 🥗
• Place all the shredded vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
• Pour the dressing over the top.
• ➡️ Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until every strand of cabbage is evenly coated.
Step 4: The Chill Factor ❄️
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• ➡️ This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften just slightly.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy 🍴
• Give it one last toss before serving.
• ➡️ Pair it with pulled pork, grilled chicken, or even on top of a burger!
💡 Variations
• Light Version: Swap half the mayo for Greek Yogurt.
• Extra Zing: Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
• Fruit Twist: Toss in some diced apples or dried cranberries for a sweet contrast.
