This Easy Creamy Coleslaw is a quick and delicious side salad featuring a tangy, creamy dressing blending mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and aromatic celery seeds. It combines shredded green and red cabbage, crisp carrots, and fresh green onions for a refreshing crunch. Perfect for picnics, barbecues, or as a vibrant side dish.

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful creamy base.
  2. Add the Vegetables: Add the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions to the bowl. Toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing for a balanced flavor.
  3. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to slightly soften, enhancing the overall taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a tangier taste, add an extra teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version of the dressing if you also replace mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
  • Grate the cabbage and carrots finely if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; it may become softer but flavors remain great.
  • To add crunch, sprinkle toasted sunflower seeds or chopped nuts on top just before serving.
