Description
Refreshing, crisp, and vibrantly tangy, this Classic Vinegar Coleslaw offers a sophisticated departure from heavy, mayo-laden side dishes, focusing on the natural crunch of cruciferous vegetables combined with the zing of apple cider vinegar.
Ingredients
4 cups Green Cabbage (shredded)
2 cups Red Cabbage (shredded)
1 cup Carrots (grated)
1/2 cup Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey
1 teaspoon Celery Seeds
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbages and slice into very thin ribbons. Grate the carrots
- Combine the Base: In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and grated carrots together
- Whisk the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, celery seeds, salt, and pepper, and whisk until emulsified
- Dress the Slaw: Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly
- The Marinating Phase: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 to 60 minutes
- Final Toss: Before serving, toss the slaw again to redistribute the juices
Notes
For a sugar-free version, use a natural substitute like monk fruit.
Consider incorporating additional ingredients like jalapeños for heat or herbs for flavor.
