Ingredients

For the Coleslaw Veggies:

  • 4 cups green cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrots shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onion sliced (green part only)
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced

For the Coleslaw Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground

Instructions

  • Use a food processor, box grater, mandolin, or sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Place the shredded cabbage into a large bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste—it may seem salty, but the cabbage will balance it out.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the shredded cabbage and mix thoroughly to coat.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to cool and let the flavors come together—this step makes a big difference!
  • Once chilled, give it a gentle toss, taste again, tweak the seasoning if necessary, and serve cold.
