Ingredients

Scale

1/2 medium red cabbage, finely shredded

2 medium carrots, grated

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 green apple, grated (optional, for sweetness)

150ml mayonnaise (use vegan mayo for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Shred the red cabbage finely and place it in a large mixing bowl. Grate the carrots and add them to the bowl along with the thinly sliced red onion. If using, grate the green apple and add it for a touch of sweetness.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Step 3: Combine and Toss

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until the cabbage, carrots, and onion are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes for a chilled coleslaw.
