Ingredients
  

  • ½ head green cabbage cored and thinly shredded
  • ½ head red cabbage cored and thinly shredded
  • 2 large carrots finely grated or julienned
  • 1 small apple peeled and cored (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1 cup 250 ml creamy mayonnaise (low-fat or vegan options work well)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard substitute with whole-grain for added texture
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional, for added tang
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed optional, for a subtle earthy flavor
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons granulated sugar for a sweeter profile

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your vegetables. Core and thinly shred the green and red cabbage. Do the same with the carrots. If using the apple, chop it into small cubes or thin strips.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and celery seed (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste it to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add your shredded cabbage, carrots, and apple. Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
  4. Using two forks or spoons, toss the veggies and dressing together. Ensure all the pieces are well coated.
  5. Let your coleslaw sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Cabbage: Opt for firm heads of cabbage without any brown spots. Freshness ensures optimum crunch.
  • Equal Parts: Stick to equal parts green and red cabbage to enhance visual appeal and flavor.
  • Customize the Dressing: Feel free to adjust the dressing to your taste. Add more vinegar for tang or more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Add Additional Veggies: Feel free to toss in other veggies like bell peppers or radishes for added crunch.
  • Pre-chill: Serve cold. It’s more refreshing and the flavors are well-enhanced after chilling.
