Ingredients

Scale

Coleslaw:

  • 6 cups finely shredded green cabbage, 1 medium cabbage
  • 1 large or 2 small carrots, grated

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine cabbage and carrot: In a large bowl, mix the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.
  2. Prepare dressing: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust sweetness and tanginess to taste.
  3. Coat vegetables: Pour most of the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, mixing until evenly coated. Add more dressing as desired for creaminess.
