Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/2 medium green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/4 red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned
  • 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by finely shredding both green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, julienning carrots into matchstick-sized pieces, thinly slicing red onion, and chopping fresh parsley.
  2. Make the creamy dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seeds, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Combine all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl, pour the dressing over them, and toss gently until evenly coated, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and adjust seasoning if needed for perfect crisp, creamy texture.

Notes

Don't overdress the coleslaw, chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours for optimal texture, prepare vegetables and dressing separately up to a day in advance, add shredded apples or almonds for variation.
