Healthy Homemade Coleslaw Recipe
Add this healthy homemade coleslaw to your menu for tastier sandwiches, potlucks, and picnics galore. It's crunchy, fresh, and vibrant, with colorful cabbage, carrots, and a sweet and tangy dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- pinch kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix see note
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, celery seed, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Add shredded coleslaw mix and green onion to the bowl. Toss well to coat with the dressing. Sample and add more salt as desired. Enjoy right away, or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
Notes
- Coleslaw Mix: You can often buy this pre-shredded and packaged to save time, but it's essentially a mix of shredded white cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots, so you can also buy those items separately and combine them according to your own preference.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make this salad as-is and keep it for up to 4 hours in the fridge. To work further ahead, make the dressing and store it in the fridge for up to one week, then pour dressing over the vegetables and toss when ready to serve.
- More Substitutions:
- If you want to make it healthier still, substitute a full fat plain Greek yogurt and skip the mayo entirely.
- You can use lemon juice, white wine vinegar, or another light vinegar to replace the apple cider vinegar. They all provide a similar tangy effect.
