Here’s the recipe for Crunchy and Colorful Coleslaw;
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar (or honey), celery seeds (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Make sure the vegetables are well mixed with the dressing.
- Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- The longer it sits, the better the flavors develop.
- Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite meals.
Optional Variations:
- For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.
- Include a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
