Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Start by thinly shredding the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Peel and grate the carrots finely to ensure they mix well without overpowering the texture.
  2. Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. This mixture will deliver the signature tangy and rich flavor the slaw is known for.
  3. Combine slaw and dressing: Place the shredded vegetables in a large bowl, add the chopped green onions and herbs, then pour the dressing over. Toss gently but thoroughly until every piece is coated.
  4. Chill before serving: Cover the slaw and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cabbage to soften just enough while maintaining crunch.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for the best crunch; avoid pre-shredded cabbage to prevent limpness.
  • Cut ingredients uniformly to ensure consistent texture and flavor distribution.
  • Adjust dressing to taste: start with less and add more gradually to avoid overpowering the veggies.
  • Let the slaw rest chilled for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors but avoid leaving too long to prevent sogginess.
  • Add herbs last minute when possible to keep their freshness and vibrant taste.
