This creamy coleslaw recipe offers a fresh, crisp salad combining finely shredded green cabbage, carrot, and green onions tossed in a sweet and tangy mayonnaise-based dressing with honey and Dijon mustard. Perfect as a quick side dish or topping for sandwiches and BBQ plates, it can be served immediately or chilled for enhanced flavor.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dressing

  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)

Vegetables

  • ½ head green cabbage (about 12 oz.)
  • 1 large carrot (about 4 oz.)
  • 6 green onions (half a bunch)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all ingredients listed to ensure everything is ready for prep.
  2. Shred Vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage and carrot using a knife, box grater, or mandoline slicer. Thin and even shreds ensure the best texture. Then, slice the green onions thinly.
  3. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Place the shredded cabbage, carrot, and sliced green onions into a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Serve or Chill: Serve the coleslaw immediately for a crisp texture or cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin vegetable slices and easier shredding.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet dressing.
  • For a tangier flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • Chilling for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavor absorption but can be eaten right away for maximum crunch.
  • Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
