- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
Salad
- ½ head green cabbage (may use green or red or combo)
- ½ head red cabbage
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 green apple diced
- cilantro for ganish
Dressing
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by slicing cabbage and apples.
- In a bowl whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, paprika, and salt together.
- Pour dressing over top and toss to combine.
- Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro.
Notes
- Whisk the dressing in a separate bowl before adding it to the slaw. This ensures the ingredients are evenly combined and coats the cabbage more evenly.
- For the crispest coleslaw, wait to toss the cabbage with the dressing until about an hour before serving. This helps prevent excess moisture from making the slaw watery.
- If making the slaw ahead of time, wait to add the apples until just before serving. This helps prevent browning and keeps them crisp and fresh.
