Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely sliced

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (mild or medium)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the green and red cabbage, shred the carrots, and finely slice the red onion. Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl and toss them together to distribute evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, curry powder, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss salad with dressing: Pour the prepared curry dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy curry dressing.
  4. Chill to blend flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to permeate the vegetables for a more balanced taste.
  5. Serve and garnish: Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute any dressing that may have settled. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro to add a fresh, colorful finish.

Notes

  • For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in raisins, chopped apples, toasted almonds, or sunflower seeds.
  • Replace some or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing option.
  • Add cayenne pepper or red chili flakes if you want a spicier kick to your coleslaw.
  • The coleslaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; no reheating necessary.
  • Use vegan mayonnaise and substitute honey with maple syrup to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Pre-shredded coleslaw mix can be used to save time.
