Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 2 medium Carrot
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut it in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

Step 2

Wash and deseed the red and yellow bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Peel and grate the carrots with a box grater or cut them into thin matchsticks.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, bell peppers, grated carrots, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it chill for 1–2 hours.

Step 9

Before serving, give the slaw a quick toss and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve cold as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or tacos.
