Equipment

  • Cutting Board

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 mayonaise
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, paprika, and salt together.
  • Toss cabbage, carrots, and apple in a large bowl.
  • Pour dressing over top and toss to combine.
  • Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Slaw tastes best when made slightly ahead of time. The dressing softens the cabbage and everything melds together.
If taking it on the go or making it a bit ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and mix it in an hour before serving.
You can use pre-shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix to save cooking time.
