Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 small head green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably high-quality)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline, grating the carrots using the large holes of a box grater, and thinly slicing the red onion and bell pepper. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Create the creamy slaw dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seeds, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne in a separate bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. Combine and chill by pouring the dressing over the vegetable mixture and tossing thoroughly to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Before serving, taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with additional fresh parsley.

Notes

Don't drown the vegetables in dressing - coat them lightly so the natural crunch shines through. The coleslaw improves with time - prepare a few hours before serving for maximum flavor development.
