Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia or erythritol (natural low carb sweetener)
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding both the green and red cabbage, ensuring they are thin for the best texture. Peel and grate the carrots so they mix evenly with the cabbage.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, mustard, stevia or erythritol, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the shredded veggies and toss thoroughly, using tongs or two large spoons, until every bit is lightly coated. This creates a perfect balance between creaminess and freshness.
  4. Chill and Serve: Let the slaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the vegetables to absorb the tangy dressing.

Notes

  • Prep ahead by shredding all veggies in advance and store them separately in the fridge to save time on busy days.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to achieve even, thin cuts that improve texture and presentation.
  • Taste the dressing as you go to adjust flavors gradually and prevent overpowering the veggies.
  • Resting the slaw longer in the fridge softens texture and deepens flavor fusion.
  • Keep ingredients cold before mixing to maintain crispness.
  • Store leftover slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it affects texture and separation occurs when thawed.
  • Serve slaw cold or at room temperature; temper from fridge 15 minutes before serving if needed.
