Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup thinly sliced or shredded green cabbage (2.5 oz/70 g)
- ½ cup thinly sliced or shredded red cabbage (1.2 oz/34 g)
- ¼ cup thinly chopped red onion (1.2 oz/34 g)
- 1 small carrot -thinly sliced or grated (1.5 oz/43 g)
For the coleslaw dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons honey
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the thinly sliced or shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, red onion, and carrot in a medium-sized bowl.Note: I thinly slice the vegetables myself because it gives them the best texture and flavor. However, if you’re short on time, you can use 2 cups of store-bought coleslaw mix instead of slicing the cabbages and carrots.
- In a small bowl or jar, mix the dressing ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour about half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Gradually add the remaining dressing, mixing until you achieve your desired consistency and taste.
- Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl and enjoy!
Notes
- Thinly Slice the Vegetables: Use a sharp knife for the best texture or you can use a mandolin.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your coleslaw before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables make a big difference in taste and texture.
- Mix Well: Ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly.
- Add Nuts or Seeds: For extra crunch, sprinkle in some sunflower seeds or slivered almonds.
- Experiment with Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can add a nice touch.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day.
