We have a choice of dressing. You can opt for the classic mayo recipe or go for a lighter version with vinegar.
Prep Time15 mins
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 2 carrots peeled & shredded
- 1/2 yellow or red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
Mayo dressing
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- salt & pepper to taste
Vinegar dressing
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients (barring the dressing) in a wide salad bowl. Mix together to make sure you have a homogenous mixture. It should look quite colorful.
- Prepare your dressing of choice. To make, whisk together the ingredients of either dressing in a bowl till you have a thick emulsion. The vinegar emulsion will naturally look thinner.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables. But don't just dump all the dressing. Pour over about a third of the dressing, give it a toss to ensure that all the cabbage is coated. Now add more dressing only if required.
- Some people like their coleslaw with heavy dressing, while some like it a little sparse. You can dress the salad according to your preference. Always add the dressing just before serving. The longer your salad stays in the dressing, the more it gets wilted.
- Your fresh and crispy coleslaw is ready! You can serve it as a side dish with steak or sausages or just enjoy it by itself.
Notes
We recommend using different colored cabbages for this coleslaw. The colored strands make a vibrant salad.
