A fresh and tangy creamy coleslaw featuring a perfect balance of creamy texture and bright apple cider vinegar zing, ideal for picnics, potlucks, and summer cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and shredded
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables (10 minutes): Wash and dry cabbage and carrots. Finely shred green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline. Shred carrots using a box grater or food processor. Thinly slice red onion and chop parsley. Toss all veggies together in a large bowl.
  2. Make the Dressing (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar as needed.
  3. Combine and Chill (5 minutes plus resting): Pour dressing over shredded veggies. Toss gently until evenly coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and cabbage soften slightly.
  4. Final Touches (2 minutes): Before serving, stir coleslaw again. Adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for color and aroma.

Notes

If the slaw is too wet after chilling, drain excess liquid before serving to avoid sogginess. Shred cabbage finely but not too much to maintain crunch. Resting the slaw for at least 30 minutes improves flavor and texture. Serve chilled for best freshness. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute mayonnaise and yogurt accordingly and replace honey with maple syrup.
