Creamy Cabbage and Carrot Slaw

This Creamy Cabbage and Carrot Slaw is a delightful twist on your traditional coleslaw. It's a vibrant, refreshing side dish that brings a pop of color and a wealth of nutrients to any meal. The slight bitterness of the cabbage, the sweet crunch of the carrots, and the tang of the unique Greek yogurt-based dressing harmonize into a symphony of flavors and textures. Coleslaw originated from the Dutch, who named it 'koolsla', meaning 'cabbage salad'. This recipe stays true to the spirit of its origins but adds a few exciting touches of its own!

Serves 6

Ingredients

Salt and pepper
to taste
Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon
Honey
1 tablespoon
Apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons
Greek yogurt
1/2 cup
Mayonnaise
1/2 cup
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, finely chopped
Red onion
1/2, thinly sliced
Carrots
2, large, peeled and grated
Green cabbage
1/2 head, finely shredded

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and finely chopped parsley.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Gradually pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover the slaw and allow it to refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more robust taste.
  5. Before serving, give the slaw another quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve it chilled and enjoy this refreshing side dish!

Tips

  • 💡 For a vegan variation, substitute the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt with vegan alternatives.
  • 💡 You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or radishes for more color and crunch.
  • 💡 The slaw can be prepared a day in advance, making it a perfect make-ahead dish for picnics or barbecues.
