A vibrant and refreshing coleslaw that skips the traditional mayonnaise for a lighter, tangier profile. This crunch-focused side dish uses a zesty apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil vinaigrette to perfectly coat shredded cabbage and fresh carrots. It is shelf-stable, making it the ideal accompaniment for outdoor picnics, backyard barbecues, and healthy weekday lunches.
1 medium head Green Cabbage
2 large Carrots, peeled and shredded
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon Honey
1/2 teaspoon Celery Seed
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Remove loose outer leaves from the cabbage head and discard.
Quarter the cabbage and discard the hard central core.
Slice the cabbage into very thin ribbons using a knife or mandoline.
Grate the peeled carrots using the large holes of a box grater.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth.
Season the dressing with salt, black pepper, and celery seed.
Place the shredded cabbage and carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Substitute rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar if you prefer a milder taste. Maple syrup can be used as a vegan alternative to honey. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the crunch holds up remarkably well over time.
